2018 Range Rover SVAutobiography 5.0 SC V8 Santorini Black
D Pillar Trim

Dealer has managed to cover these in scratches and swirl marks after cleaning. However, it does strike me how cheap and plasticky these trims are! I know the L322 ones were also plastic but the gloss black nature of these seems a bit of a nightmare.

Anyone else had issues?

I've noticed this around the black plastic windscreen surround which looks like a similar material. It's quite badly scratched and doesn't seem to wash out. 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

Best getting a detailer to polish up (unless you're a dab hand yourself). I have similar on my BMW and they tend to be fairly delicate and easy to scratch. Now: BMW 640d M Sport, Alpine White

Try a bit of Brasso or Silvo.

Although the plastic is very soft and easy to damage the guy who details my car uses his machine polisher to make them all shiny at the same time as the paintwork They come up a treat.

I never let LR wash my car - even their brand new showroom cars are covered in swirls. Once saw them using what looked like a yard broom in a bucket of dirty water as their washing implement of choice.

Common complaint with the soft plastic on the pillars and they all get scratched by the dealers before they ever leave the lot Rolling Eyes . I just had mine polished and covered with the clear xpel wrap to protect them. 2015 RR ATB (Scotia Grey w/Cirrus-Ebony)
