Scratches in Vinyl

How can I get rid of all the vinyl scratches on the inside of my car. It seems like my car scratches really easily, especially when I take a panel off and it scratches another panel.

Any ideas?

Thx

my car was broken into again...and im sure as hell not replacing my dash board again. he left little stab marks on it along the bottom, and you cant really see them, but they're gonna **** the hell out of me. i asked around and what experienced people tend to do is use a heat gun to soften the material and then use something flat, like a flat head screw driver to 're-align' the material. then go over it with the heat gun again. i havent tried it yet, but im going to give it a shot. just a suggestion.
