Default Scratches on the dash

I scratched the passenger side of the dash while installing my new stereo. The part that is scatched is adjacent to the center consel, kind of near the passenger's left leg.

Is there anyway to remove these scratches? Some type of buffing product?

if it is plastic... get a lighter and graze past it with the flame lit and smooth it out with your finger.

Try rubbing with the black end of a screw driver. It can work for light scratches, buffs them out a bit and they won't look white anymore. Try to use some plastic shine/cleaner. It will cover them up quite ok.
I wouldn't use a lighter as the part you heat will look way more shiny than the rest of the interior and stand out.
