Fix scuffs on glossy black sideskirts?

inevitab1e · 05-31-2024, 10:02 AM

I've got some minor scuffs on the glossy black sideskirts and am curious what everyone would recommend to buff them out?
I'm assuming this is a common problem?
Thanks!

Standard paint polishing methods seem to work well. Can be done by hand, but with a machine is easier. Start lighter and go aggressive as needed - use polish first, and if not enough, a compound may be needed, followed by a polish.

Spotted this would be a problem from day 1. I got mine PPF’d

I’ve had luck with just a basic cleaner wax.

Most marks on mine have came out easily with a hand polish, one larger scuff required a machine polish

I wish I knew then what I know now! The whole front end (that which is plastic) looks like it has been sand blasted.
