Newly purchased 2016 3.8 Sedan needs touchups

[Jnull91]

Used cars have rock chips, I know, so I ordered Caspian Black touch up paint. An area that concerns me is pillar posts (correct term?) which are dull/discolored. How can I revitalize those areas? They are SO in your face visable. I’m 73 - not looking for performance enhancements but I want it to look great. Wanted a Genesis for years!

Avoid cheap eBay pillar covers

I purchased a set of cheap $25 eBay pillar covers recently and decided to give them a try. They are cut a bit small and would need a couple mm additional on each side to properly cover the old and faded pillars. All of the pieces were small On the plus side, the seller promptly refunded $ and...
