Best ways to get scratches out behind door handles?

[frosty]

Working on a black accord. The scratches behind the door handles is really bad. I've got 4" pads but can get in behind the door. Curious as to how everyone tackles this problem.

Do you go with something heavy say like 105 and then 205? These are severe. What I was going to try. Guess have nothing to lose but wanted to see what others do.

Thanks for the input

ScratchX is design for hand application.

I like Meg's Ultimate compound by hand. 105 works pretty good too.

Frosty is 100% correct go with the 105/205 megs by hand!

I love 105 on a microfiber, just use your hand/fingers to get behind the handle and they come out like nothin :)

I have gotten these removed successfully plenty of times with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound and hand held Microfiber Pad.

I am sure the 105 and a micro fiber towel would be just as effective though.

UC/105/205 depends on severity of scratch.....sometimes cleaner wax

I rarely find these type of scratches to be nearly as bad as they appear, just fingernail marks. I use PB SSR2.5 with a MF towel or applicator and have not to date had any that couldn't be corrected by hand.

Thanks everyone!!

Most of the time the scratches are really really light. They just show up because they get dirt in them and it is a spot that is rarely scrubbed out very well. In a case like this vehicle I just put some Meguiar's ScratchX on the corner of a towel and just rubbed them out. It took very little effort.

I've used both Meg's D151 and M105 by hand. Doesn't take long to do either.

105 seemed to work pretty well. Car wasn't in great shape as you can see from the surrounding paint but I just used the 105 with a foam applicator to test and worked good.
