Door protection?

[Kalidor]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a way to protect this area of the door? It's the first place my passengers kick and scuff up.

I do not if it would work, or how smooth that surface is, but vinyl PPF (Paint Protection Film) would be wonderful for that piece if it can be done.

That looks like the driver's door to me!

LOL
It sure is. I saw that at the dealership before I took it home, you may notice the scuff. I asked the aftermarket guy if he had anything, he also said to ask a PPF installer.

Why are the passengers kicking your door? That seems deliberate!

mild soap and warm water if its real bad

That'll look good for a few minutes until it dries up and you'll see the scratches really easy lol. PPF is to go for long term. Easier to clean as well.

I think 303 might just make it feel greasy for awhile, not sure how it would protect against "scuffs".

Though UV light wouldn't harm it as much...so theres that.

I kind of like those! I wonder if they scuff up as well? Though if they do, they can easily be replaced. My only concern is the tape, and what happens if you want them off for some reason.

Being a fan of cheap (in comparison to the real thing) Carbon Fiber plastic to cover cheap bare plastic. Have bought a number of pieces. Always buy extra decent 3M double sided tape and fill in extra areas around their tape. Most bits have fitted well a few have slight discrepancies but for what I paid can live with.
Scratching wise, yes they are not tough but could easily coat with tough appropriate lacquer. Or as smooth surface could cover in self healing clear wrap if in kick area as per door pockets.

Have just ordered a set. Can update you with few pictures once they have arrived in a few weeks. If they fit anywhere as good as the steering wheel cover, I will be well happy.https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgijGy3DMmylhINf7Iih3V3f6eTXag
