Default How can i get rid of those minor finger scratch inside the door handle?!

Just got my car 2 weeks ago. Today when I look at my car under the sun. I found out that there is some minor scratch inside the door handle from the fingers when you open the door.

Does anyone know how can I make them go away?

Almost anything, cleaner wax, IHG, #7, Scratch X . . . should buff right out . . .

Default Start by applying some 3M Swirl Remover.

You can get it at Pep Boys. It's a very mild abrasive that will polish out the scratches. If it doesn't, you'll need to move up to a Fine Rubbing compound (3M makes that too). When you're done with the rubbing compound, follow with the 3M Swirl Remover. You'll need to put a little elbow grease into it, with either product.

When you're done removing the scratches, apply a coat of wax, and you're done.
