Start simple.
I would definitely try removing the bulk of that mess first > The black "looking" scuff marks. I believe you can make these panels look 80% better just by doing that, and the paint that's missing will then appear minimized. Maybe??
"Step by Step..." take it slow. Patience brings surprises

What about WD40 peeps? Medium to light rubs of that? > followed by immediate rinsing?
I used it on my truck's side door after a wheelchair ran into it (huh? Yeah). It planted a nice size black rubber scuff mark. Took it right off.

Should be okay to use on our scoot plastics right?

What he/she said. They are very minor scuffs. If you use WD40 degrease it properly before applying any vinyl.

If you're going to do this by hand, I would start with Meguires ultimate compound and a small cloth. Follow with any wax or sealant you want. That will probably get it. If it's deeper than that then you're gonna have to go To the sand/polish/wax procedure.
