Default Need help repairing scratches and small gouges on interior!!

Hey guys, I have a Gathers rear interior in my eg that I'm going to try to sell and was wondering if anybody knows how to fix or at least make the scratches less noticeable. I have heard that plastic fillers will help or heating the area with a hair dryer and trying to mold it back works, but has anybody had any first hand experience with this? Any help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance.

You should post pictures of this damage. Different damage gets fixed different ways.

You're likely to get 100 answers to this, but what "works for me(tm)" is just going over a scratch with your fingernail until you're satisfied with the outcome.

Don't know what you'd do for a really scratched up piece. I suppose the fingernail tek won't be practical.
