When I first got mine, 3 weeks ago, I took my Golden Retriever to the vets first to get her nails clipped. Then I let her cruise around with me on several occasions.

Unfortunately, her nails still put scratches in the console being hard plastic. My plan is to put a buffing pad in a rotary drill and buff them out the best I can without the use of any buffing compounds.

If there light and color white you can use a high powered hairdryer.

Heat it just enough to get super hot. The expansion of the molecules will fill in and take out the white.

If you don't know what you are doing you can destroy the plastic.

If they are not deep, black shoe polish will conceal it pretty well.

You can get that stuff called "back to black" at the auto store.
