Cleaning the Blackness

Like you all know the 97 CL's have black front, rear, and side sills. Mines have taken a bit of beating and look scratched up and have quite a few scratch marks.

What can I do to make them look nicer and not so beat up?

A topic-related question...I've tried several blackening (or shining) liquids but for some reason, there's always a shade of white (looks like it has faded or something) that I can't get rid of. What do you guys suggest that I use? Or is time to have them painted?

Thanks!
