if they are superficial and the trim is not plated then toothpaste usually works. if it's aluminum and the scratches are deep. you can sand with progressively lighter sandpaper to a point you can polish with #8 steel wool. if the trim is chrome or gold you can try an automotive paint scratch remover but you take the chance of discoloring the area if you rub too much.
I hope this helps

I have very good results using 3M white polishing compound (auto supply store) on a small piece of suede leather. just rub briskly till the scratch is gone. On soft aluminum trim, the leather often works with no compound.

Brasso works well. also removes light scratches from watch faces.

T-cut it works on most surfaces. Just try a small area first, then buff it up

3M cloth...its available at hardwares...it is what we sheetmetalmen use to put a slight grain in metal (stainless steel sinks for example)...
