Pillar between front and rear windows
That small black strip between the front and rear windows seems to EASILY scratch. I have washed it only twice so far and am using Vroom microfiber towels from Target.
I just noticed minor swirl marks which I am assuming are from the towels. I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this or if there is a way to get rid of them. They are the first marks on my brand new car Thanks guys. |

That part is plastic and softer than your paint, so it will scratch easily. depending on how large/deep the scratch is, it may have been from a variety of causes. You might be able to polish it out though.

The stock gloss trim is extremely easy to scratch. That's why I had all my trim wrapped in matte black vinyl.

I forgot what polishing compound I used but it was very mild stuff, like Menzerma PO85RD with a green pad on a Porter Cable or maybe a white pad. I forgot. But those scratches were easily buffed out on my E90 trim.
