Scratch Metal?

You know that silver metal that runs on the side of the radio all the way to the console?

Have you ever grabbed the seat belt and accidently gash the metal part trying to put on your seat belt?

I sure did, and it left a scratch.

Anyone fixed a problem like this before?

i have a ton of scratches in my car. seems like every time something brushes against it a mark is left. its pretty shitty material, even if i were to replace it i doubt it would stay new looking very long.

that's real aluminum thin strip wrapped around plastic. when real metal gets that thin, it's ezly cratched/dinged. i dig the real metal material. beats those plastic wanna be. just b careful. no fix. you can buy a new strip to put in. let me check price for you................oh got it...............$73 each plus shipping.

Cool, thanks for looking up the price for me..
Guess theres no fix or "special" stuff to rub out the scratch.... Ohwell, i dont think its gonna bother me enough to spend over 70 bucks on it.

Ill just be careful for now on. Hopefully my friends/family wont scratch the other side!

haha
