Some help/ideas with fixing some exterior and interior blemishes?
Some help/ideas with fixing some exterior and interior blemishes?
Hey, there are some small blemishes/problems on my 2003 EX sedan that I'd like to get some advice and tips on.
I really want to get rid of these annoying warning labels. Is there any way to get them off easily and not damage the fabric beneath?


The black plastic running beneath the side windows looks a little wrinkly and dry. Any way to fix the appearance and make it look richer?

Also, the same lining beneath the side windows is starting to show some of the metal beneath it. Any fixes for that?

The black plastic that runs above the doors, on the roof, looks a little weathered. Some parts look very light and some parts are white. Any way to restore the color and add some protection?


The headlights look like new, but upon closer inspection there are some blemishes. Mainly some whiteness. I'm almost positive it's on the outside of the glass. Any sort of solution to restore it to look clear again?



And finally, the dealership I bought the car from put a really annoying sticker on the trunk, and I'd like to get rid of it. Do I use the same technique as debadging?


Thanks!!!

As for all the black trim that isnt so black anymore.. replace it. If you cant replace it, just add some type of protestant to it, but its too far gone beyond repair. You could try to sand it down and repaint it yourself but thats too much work. Tough call.
As for the dealer sticker- same as debaging. Thats the type of sticker that pulls off easily I believe. Peel it off, whats left hit with goo-gone.

most of those cant be fixed without buying new parts. dont even try to take off the airbag sticker, it will just make a mess and you will need new visors.
