Polish interior roundel?

drvai · 03-30-2011, 12:49 PM

Hi to everyone.

The BMW roundel in my steering wheel looks scratched. I was wondering if it can be polished. And if the answer is yes, which would be the first choice?

I'd try some Megs Scratch X which works by hand on small scratches. Then buy the clear overlay so it won't scratch again if that bothers you. There like 8 bucks plus SH on the internet.

Hi, what's "the clear overlay"? In which site can I find it?

hmmm i'm thinking (but never tried) laminx for the roundel? I use that for the headlights and foglights on my e30 and works great but never tried using it on the roundel. try using a polish first and see if it helps but depending on how deep the scratch is, you may need to replace them if it bothers you that much

Yep Laminex, I have one for the hood Roundel as mine got jacked up and have seen them for the steeringwheel one. Trying to remember where I bought it online.

^wtf? lol, talk about overkill

my roundel was actually peeling for who knows what reason, i didn't even touch it....dealer replaced it under warranty and the new one is perfect, no scratches, no peeling, im guessing they are made of a diff material

my shift knob and interior door handle were also peeling, all replaced under warranty and no peeling........idk what BMW was making their old stuff out of
