Ever wonder how those unsightly marks develop under your car's door handles?
Supplies needed:
- terry cloth or shop rag
- automotive compound (rubbing compound or compound wax, but pretty much any type will do for this job. You will usually want to go with a finer grade of wax the deeper/darker the color of your vehicle)
- wax (optional)
- microfiber cloth (optional)
Well, whether they got their from your nails, keys, rings or some other way, luckily for you, they're relatively easy to reduce to near unmentionability.
Just take a little bit of compound (pretty much any kind & any grade...as long as it's made for automotive paint. I would suggest either a rubbing compound or a compound wax to one-step it.) on a clean terry cloth or shop rag & rub for a few seconds underneath that handle making sure to cover all scratched areas. Wipe off the excess with a clean portion of your cloth & then again (if preferred) with a clean & dry microfiber...& voila! You are done! Of course you may go over it again with a wax to add protection if you like.
This is a simple procedure, but as always, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
