Does anyone know what to use to touch up the silver plastic trim rings. Mine get scratched by curbs exposing their true white color. thanks -Adriano
The trim rings are meant to be thrown away. Like the clear plastic film that comes on new appliances. BTW, where can I get a set of curb feelers?
If you really like the trim rings just post asking for cast offs. Most folks just junk them after removal. I've seen posts before, "free for the paid shipping" for the rings.

They are training wheels for parallel parking. I scratched up the 2 passenger side trim rings early on. I removed them when I figured out how to parallel park the Prius efficiently and with no scraping.

I bought a shaker with a mini brush/ball point for under $5.00 to cover-up some hood chips.
