Default 2003 accord door handle scratches...

At first, I thought my wife was clawing up the inside of our accords
door handles...

I detailed and waxed the car myself a few days ago, and discovered
that the back part of our 2003 accords door handles... ALL FOUR... had
fine scratches on them...

I then thought "We never use the back seats (no kids) my wife rarely
wears her wedding ring (encouraging herself to lose wieght) and I
never drive the thing"

I can only assume that this area of the car gets wierd airflow, and
air is circulating inside and fine debris stays in there scratching it
up.

As hard as this is to beleive, take my corvette for example, 1992 (for
sale by the way, if interested). The tail lights get dirty right after
you wash them if you drive more than 100 yards... in the corvette
group, people complain of this all the time, it is because air somehow
comes back up the back of the vette and dirt and road grime can settle
in the light wells.

I was wondering if anyone knew some place that sold an item similar to
this:

http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=1.722 (these are for corvettes)

but for the honda accord...

thanks in advance! and email me if interested in my corvette! So red
youll get sunburned looking at it... jbraly@NOSPAMbellsouth.net

I noticed the same thing too but with an oil or tar like substance. It's
not anything to complain about but I noticed it ...
