Scratched Front Sensor on 2015 Ultimate

[Backyard Griller]

I took proud ownership of a 2015 Ultimate in Ibiza Blue,last Monday. Loving the car every second. One quick question. My wife has a 2015 Sonata Limited. The front sensor on the grill is displaying vertical scratch marks. She doesn't drive it hard, just about 40 miles daily as a commuter. The only thing I can think of is maybe the car wash we use. I want to keep my Genesis as clean as possible, and plan on doing it myself as much as possible, but sometimes a car wash is the most convenient. Anybody had this issue? How would you go about protecting the finish of the sensor from scratches?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thx

I haven't had this issue... Don't know if a protective film would effect it's performance or not.

Congrats on your Blue Baby BTW.

The sensor panel you see is just a transparent protective cover. The sensor sits further back. I polished mine and applied a scrap piece of paint protection film a detailer gave me. Turned out great and helps against minor rock chips/scratches since it's self healing.

Thank you all for answering my question. I have received several compliments on my baby blue already!! Really glad I pulled the trigger on this deal.
