Its a known issue.

Back to black will not work.

You can polish then (know what your doing or make it worse), baby them, or wrap them.

Scroll down, check out the B-Pillar kit

Paint Protection Kits - XPEL

Just ordered this! My 2018 came with swirls from the dealer too... do I need to polish these out before covering with xpel? Or will the xpel hide them if they are very light swirls?

Honestly don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to polishing out swirls so would rather not touch them if I don’t have to.

Love the gloss black but man do these scratch easily!

Nothing special about using a DA polisher. A fine cut compound, a pad and the polisher will keep them looking like brand new. Extremely easy to use. Take less than 5 minutes. Just clean them before you polish them.

If you just want to cover (and not fix the underlying problem) you should check out Tuffskinz... I run their domed carbon fiber door pillar covers and personally I love the look... They make them in Matte black, gloss black and some other options.. I've done the rear and front accents as well just to tie everything together.

Pricey but to me worth it...

DO you have any more details / pics of the front grille and rear tailgate overlays? Those look great but I'm concerned about how mush they stick out with the double-sided tape and foam backing.

Any close up shots?

WOW, $249, I do like the black one's though. I noticed the foam inserts for the console and cup holders. I ordered a set of those in black and orange.
