Hey everyone, does anyone else have these scratches in the circle under there door handles? I have them on all four doors. Is there anyway to remove them without having to paint? And any clue why this happens? Here are some pics

 

dont have anything in your hands, while you open your doors.

 

Take a buffer and buff it out, I did it on my dad's car.

 

I don't wear rings or any jewelry. I don't open my doors with anything on my hand. Is there anything that will remove this?

@justinspace thanks for fixing my pics.

 

Like, andy said, you can take a buffer and remove them.

 

Is there a way to remove the handles? My buffer won't fit thru there.

 

hand buff it dood... lol a buffer is only a device you could use for convenience...if you cant get it in a tight area you gotta go all ninja on it...wax on...wax off... cmon kemosabe!

 

Dont think by hand will work....
you need the machine, because hand cannot possibly rotate at 2-3k rpm, much less at 6,000 rpm.

 

From fingernails hitting the paint when grasping the door handle. Take some cleaner wax with a cloth and polish and you can hold the handle outward to gain some additional room.

 

I use Turtle Wax Bug & Tar remover and it gets most of the sctratches off unless their really bad.

 

This. you could also use some compound/polish (Scratch-X, for example) if the cleaner wax isn't aggressive enough.

When done, put a wax or sealant finish coat on.

Probably need to repeat every 6-months or so.

 

I have the exact same thing. And I don't wear jewelry and don't use my key to open the door. Must be my fingernails .

 

Eh..all you're doing with those products is filling in the scratches. You'll likely need a PC to buff that out

 

I was thinking it might be from the snow remover brush.

 

^you brush underneath the door handles?

 

Clean underneath your nails, gross.

 

lol Just...


I have most of mine in the 2 front doors and it is most likely from fingernails. Waxing it helps get some of them off.

 

Yeah i get these huge cluncks of ice that won't let me open the door. And I don't have long nails to be able to do that kind of damage. It has to be the snow brush. I'll polish it thus weekend depending on the weather.
