Nail Scratches

manish_X3i · 07-19-2018, 09:33 AM

Hello,,
My wife is using on XDrive30i with Kids and I have noticed some nail scratches under door handles. I am wondering how we can take care of them. Is possible to apply some sort of chemical or do i need to take it to some sort of paint protection. Any advise will be appreciated.

Thanks!

You can easily buff them out with a light polish or compound. They make paint protection film sized to go under the handles and you may want to look into that.

Thank you for the advise. Can you direct me to any link to look for a specific product.

What you want to look for is door cup protection. Any local to you shop that does paint film protection could install a set for a very reasonable price.

I've found that it's usually rings that scratch the handle area, not fingernails.

I think the right solution would be to paint protection film sized to go under the handles. People with kids can understand that.
