It’s always unfortunate when we notice

. Luckily, you can get scratches out of your aluminum car trim with two easy methods:- Rub a scouring pad over the scuffed area slowly and evenly. This method works best on light scratches and scuffs.
- For more severe scratches, spray the scratched area with WD-40, then sand out the scratches using 220-grit sandpaper. Follow up with 1500-grit sandpaper and 3000-grit sandpaper to even out the area.
Whichever method you choose, be sure to finish by applying metal polish and sealant to the area for extra shine and protection.
And speaking of protection, make sure you’ve got the best car insurance coverage for the lowest price with
