The black gloss trim is super soft. So literally just touching it will causing marring. So won't take much to damage it considerably.

Highly recommend putting a protective clear bra over those areas. Mine also had scratches because they scratch very easily. Got the clear bra on them and they look brand new.

I will tell you, I bought this and it takes fine scratches off out of these pieces brilliantly!

I had similar fine scratches, those trim areas are soft and scratch very easily. Meguiar's Scratch X will get it off after which you may consider protecting it by installing clear protective film or even a ceramic coating which will help reduce likelihood of scratches. When washing the car be super gentle on those areas ensuring use of clean cloths.

Piano black is infamous for that. I have paint protection film (PPF) on those parts as I was told that looking at it may scratch it It appears it was quite a good idea with that film.
