Door Sill Rubber Scratch Removal?

Hi guys

Any advice on how to remove scratches on the rubber that surrounds the door sills? I bought some Meguiars Trim Detailer and it restored the black and made it look much nicer and glossier, but scratches/marks remain on the rubber. How to restore?

Before Meguiars Trim Detailer:



After:


Thanks

I don't think it's possible to completely remove the scratches. I used tire rubber gloss on the trim before to make the black trim more polished and shiny. This usually masks the scratches. The only issue is that you should wait for it to dry.

The scratches do come back though as the gloss wears and fades.

Ah that's a shame! other than replacing the rubbers. It would probably not be worth it though as they'll just scratch easily again. Ah well the Trim Detailer made it look much more pleasant anyways!
