Scratches by door handle
have a black RX 330 and on most of the door handles (inside the groove, from people opening the door) its really scratched. is there any product designed to get out alot of scratches in the small area? also i cant get a buffer in there either.
i will post some pics once i get a chance.

I'd go at that with ScratchX and if that didn't do it I'd step up to Ultimate Compound, both Meguiar's products and are available at most auto supply stores, Target, Walmart, etc.

Maybe when you get the scratches out you can put PDA screen protectors on the inside groove. Thats what i've done to my IS. This will reduce the risk of people wearing rings from scratching the paint.

As other people have said I used ScratchX to remove those scratches on my wife's Civic. Works like a charm.

I've used both ssr2 and megs 105 to remove scratches in these areas. But yea, start w/ something simple like scratch-x if its local to you and then go from there

I banned all passengers from my vehicle. It's a lonely life, but hey... no more scratches.
