Default Door Handle Scratches?

I just got my BSP xB a couple of months ago, and already I'm starting to notice more and more fingernail marks in the cup behind the door handles themselves. They come right out with a buff and wax, but I was wondering if this is an issue with other older xBs out there? I just hate it since black exaggerates every little nick.

Was contemplating buying these things off of eBay, has anyone tried them at all?

You should buy those if it really gets to you, I don't worry too much because I watch the way I open my door and if I get something on there, I just buff it out.

That happens on all door handle holes - apply more polish or maybe some clear vinyl.

It's not the driver side door I'm worried about, just other people and their damn nails. And no, not OCD, just regular old paranoia.

Is somebody feeling guilty?

I would say go for it. A lot of us here at ScionLife are very hesitant to purchase things from eBay, but the only way to know for sure whether or not they're good is for our members here to provide testimonials.

For what it's worth, I'm sure that these will work out great for you. It's another layer of protection. It should do what it's supposed to do.

I like to keep the doors locked and then open the door from the inside for the passengers. If you want to keep from doing it yourself try using a bend finger and pull the bottom edge of the handle instead of your fingers going straight in . . . you had me thinking of this today when I got into my xB.
