I don't know if this is the right thread, but I have a suggestion for scratches on the door panels. As we all know the door panels came from the factory with an easy scratch option. This is standard equipment nonetheless. Anyways I found a product that will remove or "reseal" the scratches. It is called Vinylex from Lexol. You might need to put two coats on, but after treatment on my door panels......no more scratches :dancing:

Hmmmm... has anyone else used this? I used Meguirs scratch-x but they seem to come back... maybe I'm not using enough muscle when applying it.

Worth it to give it a try. Not very expensive and it can be used for rubber, vinyl, etc. Take note, if your door panels are gouged....this will not help, but if they are scratched from your shoes (getting in and out of your car), it works great. All I can say is I can't see the scratches anymore on mine.

P.S. I have tried meguiars interior products also and the Lexol (Vinylex) product is better!!

confused

im doing this myself too but in the DIY you said you painted the basecoat and then sanded with 1000grit did you wait for the paint to dry and then sanded or did you sanded right after you finish painting the spot?
