need help on black plastic piece between

the back window and the front window. My black plastic piece has mad swirls on it. Can I get them out like you do with the regular paint? Im thinking of just getting it painted blue too but not sure how it would look. Can anyone do a pic of it that way?

$77 each for the B pillar. Cheaper to go with Carbon fiber there (or paint)

lol B-pillar. i was thinking the rear glass and the winshield.

anyway, you can use mild paint polish to remove swirls. i used griot's Polish3, but most cheepo polishes like scratch-x will work. use a foam pad.

when you wipe off the polish though, make sure you use a fluffy MF towel and some QD or spray-type waxes...otherwise you'll end up swirling it again. wax afterwards.

its the plastic on the outside piece that is between the back side window and the front side window. Not sure if thats the b pillar or not that you all mention. I will try using polish like on regular paint but I wasnt sure if it was black paint and clear coat on it or not. Do you all think it will look good the same color as the car?

Yep, he's refering to the B-Pillar. Mine's the same way too. I guess it's the fact that it's gloss painted because usually they're matte. Carbon fiber overlays would be the best way to get rid of the problem. I just don't care that much. Still, it's just one more Z paint problem. I don't even want to mention how my front bumper and hood are already...

I really dont like the CF look so I wont be going that way. I might just get it painted the same color as the car. But first I will try to polish it and see how that goes.

It breaks up the the window opening into small pieces. I can't say I like it, but people have done worse things to their cars.
