i have my own detailing business and i use a product called wet&black to clean up that rubber.....and when waxing it would be a good idea to tape off that rubber...ive had many cars come in with the rubber all stained and messed up from the owner getting wax on it and not wiping it off

Black parts around windows
I just noticed that I have a rock chip in the black paint on the door of the car where the windows roll up into (in the area directly behind the driver's head on the outside of the car). You can actually see the orange paint of the rest of the car underneath this paint...
Since the paint is a flat black, I am wondering what sort of touch up options I have. There does not seem to be anything offered on the website (that I can see) for purchase.
I initially thought of using a Sharpie marker, but then quickly punched myself in the head to get that idea out of my brain...
Thoughts?

Hmm, the applique things seems right. It doesn't seem like your typical paint chip and more like a tear into the material that is on the door. I guess I might be able to flatten out the tear and make it look fairly smooth...

Tried to fix a scratch but made it worse!!!!!!
The scratch is on the side rear door triangular matte black window trim. It was very small so I decided on buffing it off but it made the matte very glossy.
I then use some 2000 sand paper to get it less shiny and it got too dull and grey looking
Then I waxed the whole piece and it got shiny. Is this piece made of plastic? How can I get it to match the rest of the trim? Everytime I try to fix a scratch it seems to get worse. I included an older pic of the trim part I am talking about. Should I even bother on taking it somewhere so they can match the color to the rest of the trim?

sorry man... But thats just funny. Not laughin at you by the way, my recommendation could be Mothers "back to black" liquid. Helps the plastic go to its normal color an makes plastic scratches less visible. Dont actually know how bad the scratch is. But yeah, its plastic man.

sorry if you thought I was laughing at "you" I was laughing at what you did. Things like that I'd leave alone until I find information on how to fix it. But you tried. Fits_all's idea is pretty good. i'd give that a shot.

thanks. Back to black helped me some years ago, for example, when I though you could apply paste wax onto a plastic non painted bumper and buff-machine it. Try to do that(dont), youll end up with a flat surface, extra -ultra semi gloss plastic. But yeah, "back to black" helped me there, so I guess in your condition should be more effective. At least that's what I think. Think of it as an "stealth" solution, not a solving one.

Even if I use the back to black, I will have to buff the other side also because now one side is very flat and somewhat shiny and the other is kind of poreous or rough to the touch, like a matte feel. As long as both pieces match each other appearance on each side I am ok with that.
That is what happens when I let my wife drive the car. She did it with the car keys while getting something in the back seat, or so she says. We have to share the car sometimes. Wonder what she will do to my rims someday
