Isn't there a repair kit with hard wax or something like that?

Incredibly "qualified" statements: "Vinyl is trash"; "Tiles are nonsense".... omg. Did you have a little too much mulled wine? Or did you sleep badly? Every flooring has advantages and disadvantages - and neither tiles nor vinyl are per se "trash". As everywhere, there are a) different qualities and b) different colors (who on earth would put slaughterhouse tiles in the living room? Maybe 0.01% of homeowners - and even then it’s their decision: everyone should do what they want). For me, vinyl is also out of the question - somehow I just find it "plastic". I would never warm up to that covering. Tiles are optimal in wet rooms (and above all durable). In the living area we have (dark) tiles today. In the planned project, parquet will go there: tiles are wonderful in summer, in winter they (only visually) seem rather cool (even though they are warm due to underfloor heating). It is already interesting to note that you can apparently easily get "scratches" on a vinyl floor. It probably also depends on the color how you perceive it. That is definitely annoying, because vinyl is really not "cheap" either.

It doesn’t say anywhere that it’s "light" , the OP said he doesn’t know where the origin is. Our vinyl floor is also subjected to stress, and there isn’t a single scratch anywhere. It depends heavily on quality, as you say, especially the thickness is decisive. Since my father-in-law is an interior decorator/floor layer, we received (over)comprehensive advice here, there are big quality differences... we now have one that is used in department stores and is accordingly durable

We had real wood parquet in our old house's living room, beech strip by strip, sealed with parquet lacquer. Super elegant, but it also scratches. Once a year, a coat of Sofix, and everything was fine again. Just ask at the specialist trade if there is also a Sofix for vinyl? k.

Sure... They didn’t appear by themselves! Nevertheless, according to the OP, no recognizable reasons were present.

We know this from other contexts. What? Broken? It wasn’t me, I don’t even know how that could have happened (puppy eyes, tone of conviction...).... About the scratched vinyl.... Moved furniture? Sandy feet? Dirty hand truck? There are methods to make marks on every floor. Wooden parquet is no less susceptible.
