behind door handle !
So I spend the last four days detailing my car. Yes, 4 DAYS. A couple hours before work, a couple hours after work...that's all the time i have. Between 3 kids, home works, and 12hrs work day X 4-5 day/wk. I have no time. Anyway, i'm at the final step of finishing up this little project. I'll post pic when i am done
My question is: how do you correct the scratches behind the door handles? It got lots of scratches.

I doubt any DA polishing machine will get in there, so machine polishing that is out. Unless you can easily remove the door handle, which is doubtful. You've got to take one of those handheld foam pads, put some scratch removing compound or cutting polish on it and rub rub rub those scratches out.
Those scratches are usually not very deep because they are only made with fingernails as people reach for the door handle.

Dremel - But be EXTREMELY careful. Learn to polish with it on a test panel first.

Re: behind door handle !
I just use some compound or polish on either a MF or a finger pocket pad. This won't make it a flawless finish but its behind the door handle so I dont usually try to get 100% correction.

CCS hand pads with polish for me, and like shoeless said, it won't make it perfect but it does drastically reduce the scratch and it is also hard to get good light under a door handle .

I have tried several different methods and the easiest with least amount of
damage possible has been German Polish N’ Wax Applicator and XMT 360.
We even have some photos to show it on the XMT Page (see below)
