Can you wax the colored part of the doorcard? (aka billsbug why are yours so shiny?)

[bigsexyTDI]

So billsbug or anybody else...the tops of my doors which are red to match Smaug of course, are dull. I want them to be shiny like billsbug. What do I need to use or do? They dont seem to be painted? Are they? Plastic?

What's the best thing to do?

[noR]

Yes you can and should. They're painted ABS plastic; exactly the same stuff as your fender. So treat it the same; claybar it since it's been a while, then use a polish, a glaze, a sealant, and a wax.

Or y'know.... whatever you do to your fenders.

[bigsexyTDI]

Sweet...thankee.

however please note that in '98 the colored door card peices were a flat paint color. they changed that in '99 to a glossy finish.

ahh wait...so mine are supposed to be flat eh? That's all I was wondering really. Why mine looked different than erbody elses.

[Billsbug]

Yeah, doesn't TDI mean "Totally Different Interior"?

So Billy Boy, even though your car is black (right? )... your door trip is glossy?
Is that a custom thing or stock?

Mine, being a '98, is flat and craptastic.

[Billsbug]

Stock Scotty boy!

I think Im going to have to just repaint mine all over agian. No claybar/wax/buff job (heehee) can fix them. Whom ever had my car before let their dog, which clearly has long nails, claw up the door cards.
