Shadow Line Trim Scratched.... HELP

Anyone have any idea what the best option would be to fix a scratch on the shadow line trim? It isn't that bad, but I saw it yesterday and now that I know it is there, it bugs the shit out of me. Any suggestions are welcome.

For some clarification, I found this post: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...84&postcount=9

I am talking about the green colored area.

Use Quixx. I had some on mine as well and it made it look like new again.
I got it at my local Wal-mart.

I just used the polish, then sprayed on some plexus and it looked new again.

I will find out for you sometime this week. Work is hectic today so I am going to be running late so I will not be able to pick it up today. I will take before and after pictures.

As long as they are not deep, it helps alot. Ive even used it on my OEM rims and it took the scratches right off.

Ok everyone... Went to a walmart in LI, and this stuff must be amazing because I had to dig through every product they had in the automotive section to find this stuff. First box I found it only had the polishing cloth... Second box had just the sand paper... Third box was a complete set... All 3 of these boxes were in separate sections and were not where they were supposed to be. I will try it probably tomorrow as it is raining right now.

Yeah, people steal it since its so small, pretty sad.
Hope it works for you. Ive even used it on a pair of black gloss sunglasses and it took the scratch right off.

Yes, it will work. Make sure you apply in circle pattern.
