My 2016 GTS has the glass sunroof option and it’s surrounded by 2 sections of high gloss plastic. They are front and rear of the sunroof.

I have some large scratches, scuffs, swirl marks and even some rock chips on both of them.

Are these replaceable and are they PIA’s to have done? I was thinking about taking it to a paint correction specialist of having them sanded and sprayed but would rather replace if they can be swapped out.

Paint correction (or respray) may be the easiest solution. Then have them both PPF'd.

Paint correction will take care of that followed by PPF as stated above. I have a good paint correction guy in Orlando if you need one-send me a DM and I will get you in contact.

If you get this corrected please post your after pics and thoughts. I am thinking of doing the same thing.

Plastic Polish. couple of cotton rags and some elbow grease.

It's deceiving but it's actually metal, it's not plastic so the right paint correction should help.

Good luck!

This is a terrific opportunity to get them paint-matched to the rest of the car...the way nature intended!

All I see in that pic is green grass, clean roads, no snow... Ugh!

One of the best products to use on plastic as well as window tint

I used Meguiar's M105 on that section, applied by hand, and it removed all of the scratches (some pretty deep) beautifully. Now chips, on the other hand, are a different issue.

Another great paint correction shop that also does PPF (had Suntek applied there) is Mr. Sparkle in Ormond: http://mrsparkledetailing.com/

Tell Byan that Bob Z. sent you...I never thought I would find someone as **** as I am.

Yes definitely not plastic.

I have a similar issue (see pics below). It does seem like these are plastic, but everyone says they are not...so I'm going to try polishing them out. The Meguiar's M105 says "ultra cut compound". Is that going to leave it's own marks that need to be buffed out, or does ultra cut mean super fine? Just want to make sure I use the right products.

Most of the parts are fine scratches from previous owner using bad towels I'm guessing. There is one mark on the back that is a little bigger (shows as white in the pic...but it's not). Hoping that can be reduced.

M105 is something you use after wet sanding. It's a very aggressive compound and, depending on the pad you use, can burn through paint very quickly. Using it by hand changes the whole game though, as these are designed for use on a DA.

The finish will be semi-glossy, but it will be cloudy looking, especially on black paint. You'll need a finer, finishing polish afterwards.

Rule of thumb is to use the least abrasive material that will work for your problem. For the light scratches not visible in the pictures (aka swirls), the heaviest duty stuff I'd touch off Meg's line is the M82. For your visible scratches there, if your fingernail catches you'll need to wet sand if they aren't too deep, or repaint if they are. If wet sanding, then yes, use M105 into M82 (or similar finish glaze to remove M105's marks).
