Default Scratches/gouges in the soft black plastic on the door by the window buttons...

It's the soft black plastic, in a 2001 S4 on the driver and passenger doors. It's so soft that apparently I took a small gouge out of it with my fingernails when pulling the door shut at some point. Is there any good way to repair scratches/gouges in this stuff?

Default <tracking> I haven't heard of anything but refinishing them...

I put an aluminum plate on top of my shift plate for the same reason-- that finish feels good, but wears awfully.

Default Less than five minutes after I post

And you were able to read it, get that photo, and come up with your witty one liner...

I was expecting at least 10 minutes for that : )

Default It's a coating over the plastic. VW beetles have a huge problem with it peeling off...

I'm pretty sure you can get a hold of it in a spray but unfortunatly your only option is a total re finish
