Need some advice.
I need to clean the door pillars as they have light scratching on them after a guy at the gym goes "ur cars a bit dirty" then proceeded to rub his finger down the pillar pressing the grit particles into the nice gloss finish! :cry:
I did stop him as quick as i could but the damage had been done. i then stood there and explained to the guy what he had just done. but i dont think he understood.
Can i get away with using DJ microprime then seal and wax os do i need something else?
Oh its a mk6 if that helps.

Clear coat is pretty thin in these areas, so use a slightly lighter cutting polish or one with fillers. I assume your doing it by hand? DJ Lime Prime should be fine though.

There is no clearcote on them, it's just glossy plastic and very soft crap plastic at that, i've got to do mine again, DJ LP is ok for it but it won't last long after it's been washed a couple of times as it's so soft.

Thanks guys,
Will give it a go with DJ microprime then seal it and see how long it lasts. will let you know the results.

You could use a glaze to cover the marks with it being a thin paint coating, something like Prima Amigo gives a cracking finish.

Try some real fine polish, microprime sounds like a good one. If that doesn't work get a glaze/polish with some fillers in and then protect the area well.
I f**king hate people like that who say ergh look at the dirt and then think it's a good idea to write their name in it! So un eduacted! :angry:

When i tried to explain tot him y he should never do that he just couldnt understand! was tempted to rub sand paper down the side of his car to exaggerate the point!
