Pillar post trim

Gloss black wrap??

With the issues surrounding PPF, that might be more trouble.

Try something like ScratchX then finish with sealant of some kind. Be careful though with the polish as I think I can see that the lacquer is starting to fail.

I'll have a look into that.

Usually caused by chemicals at car washes. The chemicals they use are very harsh.

I have just replaced all my offside gloss black trim pieces at a very high cost. They are not cheap

No surprise that they're not cheap!

Each window trim is £120 pretty much. With 4 per side that soon adds up

A small spot polishing pad on a cordless drill and some compound will probably polish that up, not really got anything to lose if replacement is the only other option

Somehow, didn't notice, or didn't look that way when I viewed it.

I got mine, from MB, for much less.

Exactly what I was going to say.
As the dealer had one in stock, that they wanted shot of, I got a discount. Otherwise, I think list was something like £111+VAT.

Sorry for the OT, but it seems the OP has sorted the issue out: What issues surrounding PPF?

Someone on another forum mentioned about me needing to inform my insurance because there is a PPF section in front of each rear wheel arch on my Alfa Mito, but then another confirmed it was factory fit and not necessary to inform them.
