I think I'll get me one of these to cover the knob:
It seems that they've got yours made and ready for you Ken-San:

So I just finished my wash and she looks I have a few specks of yellow line paint on my drivers side rocker panel. Noticed it last fall and I do recall having to drive by some fellas line painting shortly before it was originally discovered. Unfortunately it was unavoidable The question I have for you guys is a simple one, IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY TO REMOVE THESE SPECKS?? Im guessing no. Also I got my front end replaced last fall after hitting a deer, or rather a deer hitting me! I got a new bumper and hood and boy is that bumper already chinged up, ugh!
I hate washing my car. Its too intimate. I notice all the little stuff that usually goes undetected.

I wonder if a PC with a relatively coarse polishing compound will take those bits of yellow off? I find that the QD AFTER the wash is where I see all the flaws.

In all seriousness, I just keep a short running sock in the console for this purpose.
My Miata has a polished stainless knob that would get ridiculous if I parked it with the top down.
