Title: B-Pillars

How do you best clean (and KEEP clean) the b-pillars on the 318is?  "Black Again" doesn't work fer beans, and I'm tempted to break out my "Forever Black" dye.  Mine are just really faded and dull.  Suppose I could paint them.  :confused:

Mine looked like they were sun faded and I just scrubbed really hard with some bug and tar remover. Most of it came off, but it still isn't perfect. I think that those plates can actually come off, but I can't figure out how to pop the panel on the inside off.

Are they supposed to be shiny or flat black?:confused:

flat. Ours are just getting really faded from peoples' hands as they shut the doors.
