How to clean Bmw 2008 A pillar

[Ncs0816]

Yesterday I did a clients car BMW X3. Both sides of the cars A Pillars were heavily faded. They were made out of like a synthetic rubber material not the typical fiber glass a pillars

How do I clean them?

has anyone seen this before?

I will post a picture later today!

But they look like this

If you're talking about the far right in the picture, that is a B pillar. The A pillar would be next to the windshield. Your B pillar looks to have some carbon fiber-like decal on it. It may have been placed on there to cover a faded pillar. I'd have to see it in person

B pillar.


Also it seems they have carbon fiber vinyl or similar on them as posted above.

looks like a vinyl wrap to me as well. They are probably beyond repair and rewrapping would be the cheapest alternative. I've had good luck on vinyl stripes with a very fine abrasive (menzerna sf4500) or an all-in-one like Klasse or werkstatt using a polishing or finish pad. As always, inform the owner that it may not come out and replacement may be the only option, then with approval, do a test spot.

If they are carbon fiber inserts, some cheaper ones will oxidize or yellow over time due to the cheaper materials used, a similar approach to above can work sometimes.
