    Long story short, I wanted to quickly remove bird crap off my exterior plastic pillar using a paper towel and I managed to lighty scratch the surface. It`s visible and it bothers me. How do I go about fixing this?

    HD Speed or HD Polish on a 4" Buff & Shine green pad works well on plastic pillars for me.

    Yep, polish it out with something relatively mild and then coat/LSP with something that`ll provide a bit more protection to help with the inevitable next time.` I kinda like many coats of KSG myself, especially on the similar-situation gloss black sideview mirrors on the Tahoe that catch a lot of bugs.

    Rupes Keramik Gloss is bulletproof on plastic pillars (and anything plastic), does a better job than anything else I`ve used.`

    Scottwax- That`s high praise indeed for the Keramik Gloss!` Thanks for mentioning it, I`m just soooo out-of-date on products these days...

    New version of Hyper Polish is really good too, used it today on A7 pillars, came out great.`

    +1 on HD polish and Keramik.

    I have some of the new Hyper Polish and will try it but they always seem so runny that I don`t bother.

    Scottwax- My experiences with the older Hyper polish/comound were kinda unsatisfactory, but I`ll keep in mind that they`ve updated it.` Thanks for keeping me current!

    Plastic stuff can be funny, seemingly mild products sometimes *trash* it...had ZAIO do that on pieces I regularly used (other, seemingly more potent) abrasives on.
