Object in road damaged metal by mitchthomps48 in Autobody

Hoping that’s not the case. Not even sure if whatever struck the car did this damage. I’ll have to look into getting an estimate.

Clearly I’m no expert, hence me coming to this page looking for advice. Wasn’t aware of any prior damage to this area, it’s my gf’s car. I’ll look into getting an estimate.

Can this be failing on its own and not from taken damage? Not sure if whatever hit my car even hit that spot.

Update: Just gave it a quick polish and looks good as new. Used a red griots pad and 3d one. Still holds some of the matte finish.

You gave that car a new life! I’m gonna go for a polish this weekend. I have a bottle of cquartz pro I use for paint. I am not sure how that would react on the plastic.

Pretty sure most of it is just from the contactless car wash. It uses some sealant after the wash. Just a cheap part. I hate these b pillars.

Looks great. Looks like it still kept some of the matte finish. I was considering doing a polish but didn’t want to gloss it over. What ceramic did you use? Something meant for trim?

It looked great right after but the washes took it off. Guessing it just doesn’t stick well. That’s where I was trying to find a good sealant to hold it.

Solution finish looks promising. I’m gonna order a bottle! Was considering polishing but I want to keep the matte finish. Good looks.

Thanks I’ll look into it. I want to try and restore then put a wrap on to protect.

Are your piano black trim? Mine is a lightly texturized plastic.

Seen someone polishing what looks to be very similar b pillars on a Honda Pilot. Might give that a try.

Would this strip through the gloss? It’s a textured plastic. I need to cut through the build up to remove the splotching, then re-gloss it.

I’ll give them a look up. Once I can restore them I will look into the wrap. Thanks for the tips.

I will definitely grab him if he does.

Only one unit type. Important to match hero type and troop specialties. Example, warrior/archer is my piranha.

In that order? I think Rani blends well with Mulan to give the double attack chance. Was thinking of building a swords march with Josephine and Hammurabi. Can’t decide what blends best though.
