Mark on Side Molding
I have this small white mark on my passenger side molding. It's like a white from a cart or something. How do I take this off or cover it? Do I just use touch up paint even though it's not a scrape or anything?

So I got this stuff and it took it right out...but be ready to put some elbow grease into it. If that doesnt work..(and it might not b/c the molding isnt pourous like my handles)..check out your local auto parts store and talk to someone who knows what they are talking about....they might be able to point you towards something that works better, I usually just browse the store and check out the new products and try different things.

Sorry, foxymazda, if it seems like I'm "fighting" with you lately - not intentional, but:
BL - DO NOT use "Back to Black" on your paint! This product is intended for unpainted black plastic trim. It is not a cleaner, it is a dye!
We already used some on my Lady's Jeep Cherokee moldings - looks good, but this IS NOT for your paint. It will stain the area black, and you'll probably notice that more than the the little scuff.
Just use some rubbing compound and som "elbow grease". It'll come off with a little work - it's just a scuff. Looks like some *** with a white car opened their door too far and gave you a love tap. Just be glad you have the moldings, or else it'd be a ding that costs about $75 to have fixed.
Again - no animosity foxymazda, but the "Back to Black" stuff is BAD advice.

I was going to say the same thing, but didn't want anyone to think I was being a jackass! I used this stuff on the window molding of my old RX-7 and it looked like ***.
