Im sure if I gave it a go it would come out looking worse. Would much rather them be held responsible

Saw this service bulletin also, I just want to know what they use to buff it out.

I'll see if I can find the TSB number for you. It IS in the system; I saw it over my service tech's shoulder as he was searching for another one for me. I asked him to show me that one, and it clearly stated in numbered steps what the service tech should do...clean carefully with a microfiber cloth, mask the area with tape, apply xyz GM part number polish, use a swirling motion, etc. Even included pictures of the process.

The TSB gives the exact GM part number for the polish.

Thanks and will be talking again to the dealer tom about this when Take the car back in to have my ABL lighting fixed yet once again since they did not get right. ARRRR

O2BQIK · 01-18-2010, 08:17 PM

Which dealer? Where in Texas?

Superfly1 · 01-18-2010, 08:56 PM

Mine did this as well, I just used some plastic polish on a cloth and it was good as new. It took 30 seconds.

Noilleber6 · 01-18-2010, 09:20 PM

TSB: 09-08-44-015B: Radio Display Screen Scratches and Scuffs (Polish display screen) - Sep 25, 2009. Refers to using "GM Swirl Remover Polish, P/N 12377965, in Canada use P/N 88900046) to hand polish the display screen. Also says, "For vehicles being repaired under warranty, use: Labor Operation: R9768, Description: Restore Radio Display Screen, Labor Time: 0.4 hr"

Doesn't specifically say whether it will be handled under warranty but I interpreted that last bit to mean that it should be.
