my car has a matte black stripe running the full length of the car, as you can see in the sig. My question is this. when the dealer installed the stripes they installer apparently got the edge of the squeegee into the stripes a lot. They have scratches all over them. I poked around the search and found talk specifically about getting scratches out of gloss vinyl using the same stuff you use for paint correction. The question is can you do that on matte vinyl as well?
Second question, my car has flush mount louvers that replaced the quarter windows on the rear. The installer used too much glue and you can see the black that mushed out of the gaps when the louvers were placed into the window openings inside the little rain gutters around the louvers. That drives me crazy, any of you guys know a trick to get that out without having to go back and have the things pulled, cleaned up and reinstalled?
also wondering how you guys get rid of scratches near emblems. i have some inside the letters on the GT emblem on the fenders that bother me I'd like to remove. I assume hand is the only way to go there.
Final question for now, what do any of you with polished billet under the hood and inside the car use to keep it clean. That stuff is crazy easy to scratch.

Third question. the louvers are painted polycarbonate plastic and have a few dirty spots. Can i use the porter and the same product you use on paint on the painted polycarbonate? Link to louvers if more info is needed, the company painted them - http://www.silverhorseracing.com/cart.php?target=product&product_id=16198&category_id=275
