so, not a big deal, its just the side trim near the seat belt, but how rough does someone have to be with a seat belt for it to leave such a deep scratch.

guessing was the car wash guy, he's a super nice guy and does a decent job, but man, not so rough! lol

Damn! It took some pretty good force to make those marks.

Good thing he didn't claw your window tint while he was ripping up the trim.

I've had dealer porter scratched my door panel (must've kicked it while getting out) and tore up my steering wheel cover (I really don't know how this happened but good thing I have a cover!! ). The problem with those textured plastic is u can't buff it, they need to be replaced if u want the scratches gone.

it's not a biggy, but just wanted to point it out how rough people can be in general with cars.

my car only has 2k miles on it and havent taken to dealer, so would only be the car wash guy or me..

The worse part is when they say... "It's not that noticeable."

I always thought it odd that only residents of Oregon, of the entire U.S. populace, are deemed not competent to safely pump their own gas.

You may want to try some plastic scratch remover. They really make it to eliminate scratches on clear plastic like headlight covers and guage screens, but it may work on that as well. If not, maybe a coat of Armor-All or black shoe polish.
