Default Wood trim swirls and light scratches?

I have some wood trim that has some light scratches/swirls. What are you guys using to remove these?

It has clear on it, probably any polish by hand would work right? Any thing specific?

I have found the "Clear" on these trim pieces are not like the clear on the car. I would use plastic polish first.

Lots of tape around, then use a powerball mini with Plastx.

try using something Like Klasse AIO or XMT360... just small circular movements should give you some DECENT results.

I've use Klasse on plastic outter mirrors (but with a UDM mind you) and the swirling was gone like that...so I assume doing it on the interior shouldn't be too much of a problem.

It works really well...but h heads up..use lots of tape. Tape tape tape tape. You dont want to get plastic polish everywhere. haha One of the tricks I have used over the years.
