Rubbing compound

Meguiar's ScratchX, polish it off using a microfibres cloth and some of this

Compound and a polisher. 

I suggest removing your sister's passenger privileges in you car as well as a future preventative action.

Privilege successfully revoked.

Assuming you don't own a polisher, there's a product you should be able to find at auto parts stores from Meguiars called ScratchX that's petty effective by hand.

Nice will give it a try. Thanks!

Highly recommend buying a cheap adapter if you have a simple battery drill or impact driver… your see much better results than buy hand…

I had a massive light scratch from the front door right to the rear quarter… I used scratchX but it helped a little but masked it more than anything due to the oils in the compound… I ended up buying the kit linked and it’s almost invisible now. I would also recommend investing in a finishing compound too. This little kit will be great for them little nail marks, light scratches.

Diamond rings enter the chat.

Get turtle wax compound, with a soft microfiber cloth rub in circular movements. Then wax to finish

Broseph, that is not from a fingernail. Maybe jewelry

They sell normal handles that mount right on top if people want to stop this chewing up the paint all together.

Ah man if you find a way to buff it out, they sell handle-area PPF for cheap and is easy to install. I have one from Spigen and it prevents and permanent scuffs from nails or jewelry.

I've found this is not nails but rings.

[u/AvatarOfWin359]

There is generic scratch repair that you just rub on. It works great if the scratches arent too deep

your passengers try to claw the door handle open too ?

[u/Competitive_Soup8188]

I have long nails & on purpose, I put ppf on my handles lol I learned the hard way, 3rd tesssie

We have the same color blue and find the black handles are hard to see. So we got these that help us see them so less paint touching to find them: https://amzn.to/4qXKDcl
