This is my first post so bear with me. I had scratches in common places on my '01 S.
It's not a big job to refresh the interior.
Lift the door cubbys and remove the pins holding the hinges on by using a small steel rod, then grab them with needle nosed plyers and gently remove them. Be careful sliding the spring out. ( take a picture first ) There are four small spacers in each hinge, if you drop one in the door or on the floor , pick it up and put it in a zip lock bag.
Next watch Pauls video on YouTube on how to remove the console. It's seven torx screws, take your time and be gentle. It will come out.
Once out put on latex cloves so the oil on your finger tips doesn't touch the plastic at any time. Ever!
Sand the plastic parts 220 grit paper, the scratches will disappear in short order. Wipe with a tack cloth. ( paint store ) Use flat black Krylon colormaster paint. It's a perfect match and designed for plastic. Three light coats. Wipe with tack cloth in between. it takes two days to paint parts. You will be happy with the result. Take your time installing parts. Don't force anything. Its a lot easier if you remove the passenger seat.
