Ideas to prevent scratches under the door handle

Hello,
I was on my way to work this morning, so I tried to get in my car. While I was holding door handle, I recognize that There are few scratches uneder neath the door handle ( probably nail scratches) I m pretty sure lotta G drivers have this situation since we have to grab the handle and pull it.
I was wondering, is there any way to keep those scratches away??

I just looked at my car and I don't have any scratches at all. Maybe you just need to be more careful not to scrape the paint.

I think you could probably use the clear bra material to protect that area as well.....<font color=blue>2old4this</font color=blue>

Re: Ideas to prevent scratches under the door handle

check in your local area for a CLEARBRA dealer/installer....
I've seen it applied to BMW's around the door handle area and its just about invisible....hope this will help ya...

You may also want to check in the dyi/faq section on this forum for some sites that do this process....

Re: Ideas to prevent scratches under the door handle

I keep the area under the handle well waxed for now. Eventually I'll get that 3M clear bra'd.

Re: Ideas to prevent scratches under the door handle

when i had my car clear bra'd, i had them do the front bumper, the headlights, the hood up so its flush with the headlights, sideview mirrors, behind the front wheel wells, and in the door handle area. i had them use Avery material, its much thicker and is of much better quality than 3M. every time i go to open my doors and i think i scratch the inside i look and remember that i had them clear bra that area and can't stop thanking myself for doing that, so all in all, put the clear bra in there too...
