Default 500 miles and i see scratches

Well today i was parking the car in the garage and i saw some scrathes on the black pillars. I think that is what you call them.

Check out this pic. I am using 2Q2B_slow's car picture just to give you a idea of what i am talking about.



Do you guys know of anything that can maybe take the scrathes out. Its like having a black car and seeing all those scrathes. Aslo is there any specific way of cleaning those so called Black Pillars.

I'm not really sure if you can prevent those scratches but you can try to lessen the damage by using better towels (clean and moist) and wipe in 1 direction... The only other thing I can think of is you can clearbra them?

I don't have them yet, but I've only washed my car about 5 times. I use high quality wash mitts, rinse the mitt often, and dry with a WW microfiber towel. Always wash and dry in the same linear direction - never in circles.

Also, make sure you're not grabbing the door by those pillar posts. Make sure you (and your passengers, if any) are closing the door using the DOOR, not the plastic pillar posts.

Hey man, from a distance your car looks sick with those GT-C's. i have never been a fan of white/gold but your car is beautiful. I had some GT-C Mercury Silver wheels on my Z and I can attest that they look so much better in person. Shake & Bake!!!
