New GM SUV Body Side Molding Question

Hi Guys,



I have a Black 07 Tahoe and had a question on the body side molding (door ding molding). While using the rotary I accidently rubbed the side of a foam pad (black CCS) against the molding and it scuffed it up. I know it's my fault for not taping the molding up, but these new moldings seem extremely prone to damage.



From what I can tell, the surface of the molding is not painted (I've already tried the wetsanding buffing approach with an improved yet not great result), and it's not the hard plastic either. It's almost like a layer of colored 3m urethane film on the outside of the body side molding.



I think I'll be forced to wet sand and buff a little further to improve the look.



Anyone have any advice for repairing a scuff on this material?



Thanks - Bob D
 
You are correct and found out the hard way like I did. These are not typical painted mouldings. I learned by getting spray wax on them. My best advice is tape them off and stay away from them with anything. If anything maybe use a silicone sealant that is colorless.
