Fixing scuffed black plastic exterior trim

Greetings all - my wife's Yaris somehow managed to pick up a 'scuff' on the black plastic exterior trim next to the drivers door window... of course in a prominent spot that really catches the eye. The scuff shows up as white against the black plastic.

Any tips or products for making this mark less noticeable, or does the trim need to be replaced?

Thanks!

Those scuffs are impossible to remove. Like Jen said - your best bet is to treat it with some protectant or Back in Black. I have some scuffs on mine too, and while they're still there they are less noticeable after a few applications of product.
