Scratches on the black window lining
Sup fellas, I noticed scratches on the black plastic linings next to our windows. What product can I use to clean those up?

Are you talking about the gloss black window trim or are you talking about the flat black trim?

Klasse All-in-one will take care of it if it's just swirl marks and oxidation. It's an excellent product.

You could use a very mild polish to remove the scratches, just like you would on the car's paint. Run some blue painter's tape along the edge so you don't start buffing the adjacent body panel. If the scratches are particularly bad, you may need to get the trim repainted or replaced. ScratchX would be my last-ditch effort before going that route.

Don't, that's going to look cheap and shitty. Cheap cars have flat-black plastic window trim. Ours is gloss black to add a nice premium look.

I tried Meguiar's M105 and M205 polish on mine and it didn't change. Klasse AIO worked quickly and easily. Looks like new now. $20 well spent.

I'm not sure exactly if it fills them or just removes it, but my car is an 08 and when I got it they were swirled and faded with what I'd describe as water spots...sort of discolored almost blueish. A few swipes of Klasse with a microfiber pad and then clean microfiber towel to buff off and it looked shiny and new. No more spots or swirls. It was recommended to me by a few others here on the forum. It just works.

That means the Klasse just filled in the scratches, or you may have used the M105/M205 incorrectly (those are also very harsh).

Which piece are you talking about? If it's plastic, you're probably spending more money than it would Cousy to buy a new one. I've replaced #7, it was $40ish, had 3m tape on already.
