Hey guys,
Sorry if ths is a re-post but I couldn't find this question within the search function.
How do people polish out the scratches behind the door handle? I feel like I don't do anything to scratch it (like with my fingernails) but there's still quite a lot of scratches.
I tried a towel with the polish that was recommended by detailed image (that was used on the black acura) but I guess I'm not buffing it enough with just the towel.
Any advice?

 

What polish did you use?

 

The best results I've gotten are from taping off the handle part very well with painters tape and using the 4" pad on a PC to get inside the cup as much as possible. Pay very careful attention to not let the backing plate hit the handle or it will scratch it. Lock the doors and pull the handle out for more room to work. Also don't use too much pressure when going over the edge where the flat portion of the door panel transitions into the cup, you can burn the paint off of the edge if it gets too hot.

 

I used Power Finish & PO85RD

Man, that sounds painful. How much of the scratches would you say you removed? Are you getting most of it removed by doing it like you stated?
Thanks for the tip.

 

^ +1.

Or just give it some old fashioned elbow grease and do it by hand.

 

once you get it polished get some 3M on there and stop it from happening

 

I did that the first time. Probably removed 10% of the scratches. Still was visibily noticable though.

Sorry can you clarify your comment?
I always thought 3M was a tape company. Is there a clear type of tape that you place there to prevent scratches? I've never heard of a product that is used there.
Thanks

 

it is the clear bra 3M. I have it done on mine rocks.

 

I got about 70% improvement (subjective) by machine polishing it. Used Menzerna SIP on orange/PO106FF on white.

 

I used Meguiar's Scratch X on there. I just lock the doors, pull on the door handle to get underneath it.

This stuff removed most of the fine surface scratches from daily use.

 

Any link for these? Or is it as simple as going to a CVS or Walgreens?

 

3M clear bra can be found at any highend lingerie store. Definitely NOT cvs or walgreens!

 

Wow didn't expect to read that.. high-end lingerie store huh? Dang it'll be a weird question to ask one of the ladies there..

"excuse me ma'am, any chance you have any 3m clear bra?"

 

lol On a more serious note,

OP just contact your local 3M clear bra installer for the material. They sell that film on ebay as well.
