Door cup scratch guards.

I got these on eBay and just finished installing them.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/08-09...Q5fAccessories

It came with install instructions and took approximately 5 mins per door.
Very easy, and I don't have to worry about scratching up that area behind the door handles. It actually covered up the scratches that were there before.

Highly recommended.

Polish the scratches out, then use the scratch guards.

I'm considering these because I have lots of scratches. After I polish them out they look great for a while then I scratch it up again. I think I might polish, glaze, seal and then put these on. I didn't get them when I got my clear bra.

Now, just get the covers for the key slots and it will be perfect.

Good idea. I have AG so the scratches didn't show much. The clear film actually hid most of it.

Sorry to kind of hijack, but I didn't think it was worthy of its own thread. I have the 3M on my car and I scratched it so now it looks like crap. The scratch guard saved my paint at least but its like all frayed now and doesn't look good.

Do you guys know any way to fix this? How hard is it to apply 3M scratch guard yourself? Thanks.
