You can try lightly using a Magic Eraser. It's an abrasive, so be gentle not to wear too hard and damage the surrounding areas. The idea is to use it to get ride of the frayed "fibers" of the rubber from the scratch. Then, try using a bit of a product like Mother's Back to Black to help blend the area and reduce visibility of the scratch.

It won't be perfect, but between the two and some careful patience, you should be able to get it so it won't be noticeable unless you're looking for it.

Sounds good enough lol. Thank you. Have you tried that before? The interior looks beautiful, I love it...but scratches easy.

I haven't tried it on this particular area, but I have removed similar scratches and scuffs. It shouldn't be too tough. Good luck!
