I have obtained some scratches on the black plastic pieces throughout my truck, specifically the exterior B pillar covers, bed rail covers, and side mirrors. is there a way to get these scratches out? I know if its a cut I wont be able to remove that, but these scratches are from branches and just look like organic material rubbed into the poors of the plastic.

Interested to find out. I had so many scratches all over that it was beyond anything I could fix easily. Took it to a body shop and they did a cut, buff and polish. Got out 95% of them but not in the plastic and vinyl graphics. My mirrors are the worst. Guess need to live with it unless this thread sheds some light on a solution

I have the same problem, the flares and b-pillar covers are all scratched a lot. When I sell I may have the b-pillars wrapped to hide. Maybe the flares too. I don't care about them as long as I own the truck because I will continue to scratch them. trails in AZ are too narrow to avoid ever scratching.

I know for a fact that you cant buff out the B pillars. 4 new pieces were $260 from the dealer. I'm more interested in the black textured plastic on the bed covers and the side mirrors. I haven't tried yet but I'm sure they will clean up.
