Got door handle scratches?

Okay, since I was detailing my mom's CR-V, thought I'd take some pictures to show you guys some basic scratch removal that most every neglects and very eye catching on lighter colored cars

Do some of you guys have bad fingernail scratches inside the door handles of your car like this?

If so, they are pretty damn easy to remove, just grab a cotton terry cloth, and some polishing compound like so

and rub some of that into the areas, and watch the scratches erase themselves

This method also works for blemishes, and small scratches, and paint left behind from people banging their doors on your car

Dont know steve, got the car like that

It tends to happen a lot on light colored cars, people just dig their nails into the car I guess.
