Scratch Removal - Dash/Doors?

Hi All,

First time poster here from Adelaide in Australia, I have a white, 1.5L twin carb eg4 hatch and am working on cleaning it up a bit.

The previous owner had young kids which have unfortunately scratched up a lot of the interior.

What would be the best way to remove some of the deeper scratches? I've thought of using a really fine sand paper but feel that that will end up damaging the finish and making those spots stand out more.

The right hand side rear interior also has a big crack through it that some clown has attempted to paint over in a different colour, would it be very hard to find the correct interior colour and paint over this again?

Cheers

Probably easier to buy a new interior from a scrapyard to be honest

Lol

I'm not that desperate, plus I've called probably 80-90% of the scrap yards around here and none seem to even have any civics. Who knows where they all go!!
