Cleaning Black Plastic Pilars?
Hi there,
What do you guys use to clean the black exterior side pillars? Mine have fine scratches that I'd like to try and polish out. I tried a little ScratchX, but it didn't work like it does on the exterior paint. Becky Last edited by Beckweed; 08-04-2008 at 01:49 AM..

 I claybar and wax those areas just like the rest of the car.

They are metal (at least on my 99)- they secure to the window frame with screws under the seal. Treat them like any other metal.

I guess the pillars are painted metal. I thought they were plastic. I'll treat them like you suggest. I'm not a big fan of the scratchx though. I'll try that nu finish stuff. Thanks.
