    Door Handles - Scratches-Which Polisher

    I have typical fingernail scratches behind my door handles. I have both a Cyclo and a Griots 3" but neither seems to get in there. I've seen some pretty impressive pictures of scratch removal behind the handles. Please tell me what to use!

    Please don't be offended. I just had a mental image of someone trying to get their buffer pad between the doorhandles and getting very frustrated in the process

    Your question was valid. The recommendation given by storm is your only option unless you want to remove the doorhandles?

    Not sure of the products you may already have, but Meguiars Ultimate Compound is what I would recommend if your loking for an OTC product

    Again, sorry if I offended you

    Foam or terry cloth towel with something like Ultimate Compound as Flash mentioned or even Scratch X.

    Terry cloths work good here. They give you more bite. Something I do with old pads is to cut them up for situations like this

    Re: Door Handles - Scratches-Which Polisher

    Even an AIO with microfiber by hand will clean those.

    Even hitting them with APC will help, if the car is white

    I kinda chuckled myself picturing someone trying to squeeze a DA in there. Been there tried that and then the light came on to use the pad by hand.
