Thinking the same thing. I've tried to "clean up" plastic parts in the past and it never turns out well. The gouges are part of it's history and should just be left to live on with the car. If it needs to be concourse for show, find a mint used, or NOS shroud.

Okay, sanded many of the scratches out of the fan shroud, experimented buffing with various compounds and was not fully pleased with the results. I then thought about the black trim restore stuff for exterior trim. Tried a spot on the inside of the shroud….not bad. Here’s the results (sorry for the dust/schmutz from installing).
