B Pillars?

The gloss black on my B Pillars are surprisingly scratched up despite being insanely careful with them. Any suggestions on what to use on them?

I have Klaase AIO, Menzerna Fast Gloss FG-400 & Sonax Profiline Nano Polish 3/6

B Pillars were polished out using a Rupes 21 Polisher, Green Polishing Pad and Sonax Perfect Finish. All of which I'll be carrying shortly. The black plastic of the B pillars is extremely soft as i'm sure all you guys know. So the best thing you can do once they are polished is protect them with a good coating like CQuartz UK, CQuartz Finest or Opti Coat to add slickness and hardess. And to do your best to not touch these areas. Close the door from the inside handle, the glass or the paint as these areas are all much less prone to damage than the B pillars.
This was quoted from another thread. I haven't yet touched mine but they definitely need some attention. If anyone has other ideas I would love to hear them. I am a reluctant to polish them with my Porter Cable...

Your best bet is to polish them. Depending on how bad they are, you might want to use the FG400 with a cutting pad and the the nano polish with a polishing pad. Once the defects are removed it's highly recommended to protect them with a more permanent coating to keep them in top condition.
