B-Pillar Maintenance
How do you guys maintain your glossy black b-pillars? I follow the proper techniques for washing the vehicle but I still leave light scratches on the b-pillars that have to be polished out. Is anyone utilizing a method that works?

I'm also interested in this. I actually had to take the car back to dealer to address some paint blemishes and replace a windshield (they coordinated an insurance claim for me) after only 2 weeks of ownership. Everything was addressed but when I got the car back the b pillars looked horrendous. I was a bit fed up in general so just let it go. Figure I could polish them out. Plus the sooner I accept scratches are inevitable on this new car the better.

The pillars look like black plastic, in which case the color isn't a coating it is in the whole material and scratches can be polished out.
Many polish sets are for plastic. "Novus" is a reputable one for plexi and similar plastics, sold in most hardware stores in grades 1-2-3 each less abrasive. I'd try the least abrasive with a buffing pad and work up to what is needed. Also good for headlight covers.
