Foam baluster?

If that doesn't work, I have a bad feeling the spots are permanent.
I'd ask at the MB store if they are user friendly. You might end up buying a black replacement piece to replace that one. IT's probably easily replaceable by a tech used to removing certain screws and pulling certain griptite push-in connectors.
Or replace with an upscale appearance piece if available.
I see slight scratches on the finish along with spots. The scratches might come from paper towels which can contain abrasives. Hence, use only microfibre or clean terry towels to work on this. The particles in paper towels is why they're not recommended for drying the rear glass inside with the heat strips on them for defog/defrosting.
I'd try something that's an oil polish. Maybe even leather seat treatment if you have some.
I also wonder about water spots leaving a residue, and I would use a 50/50 white vinegar treatment.
I would test a hidden area first before using anything, but that might lift the minerals from the water that penetrated the finish?
I keep wondering if it's some kind of product that splattered on the finish and was absorbed as it dried. I still think of my wife's various hand and skin creams she likes to use. But the pattern looks like a splatter, like when I open a can of diet soda while driving and it goes "poof" and hits a lot of area. I keep a microfibre towel in the cubby armrest to pick that up when it happens without letting it dry.
I think your best bet might be to replace with an upscale part that looks better than the gloss black.

I have an easy solution, leave it open.
Driver, try stopping at a detail shop and see if they think they can take care of it. then just hire "the guy"!

I just got a text message from the Illinois department of transportation regarding a drivers license waiver validation giving me a link so I can validate my information. I might have done it if 1.) The state actually contacts people like this (they don't) 2.) The text number wasn't an CA area code and 3.) if the illinois dept. of transportation had anything to do with drivers licenses (it's handled by the Illinois Secretary of State).

The scammers come up with new ways to extract money from the masses every day. The one that bothers me the most is the car warranty scammers. They always tell me my car’s warranty is about to expire and when I tell them it’s brand new and has a 5-year, 60,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, they tell me I can still extend the warranty further. Right! Just what I need - a car warranty that will take effect after I die!🤪😜🤓

Why do you even talk to them, are you lonely? My autistic son used to engage these spammers for hours until they realized there was something wrong with him and hung up. The trouble is that when you take their calls your name goes into a rotation list and they will just keep calling again and again.

Does the Genesis also have the 10yr/100k powertrain warranty? Those extended warranty calls are out of control and more than annoying. Hardly a day goes by without getting them.

The effort to convince those who don't want the vaccine(s) for various reasons stated is huge for some reason. Ohio spent $5000000 of taxpayer federal money on 5 lottery drawings; prizes of $1000000 and for those under 17 a drawing for full ride college scholarships at any state school--all to push the unvaccinated to get shots.
Those folks are like those who won't wear seat belts and those who won't wear helmets on motorcycles: they aren't going to be changed. Those most at risk in being older or at risk to the small percentage with fatal cases have been vaccinated mostly.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
We are slow but in first doses we are ahead of you guys percentage wise, but behind on 2nd doses. As Ab said, the interest in 2nd doses is falling off....but with the new Delta variant a 2nd dose becomes really important.

Remember that there is a small percentage of the population that cannot get vaccinated due to medical reasons. As for not wanting the second shot, I know many people that have gotten very concerned about the second shot after hearing the side effects of it by people that got very bad side effects.

I think that is a myth. If you never answer or talk to them, have they stopped calling you?

Personally, I had no trouble getting the vaccine. I don’t normally get flu shots but this time I didn’t want to risk bringing something home to my wife from a bio hazard rental car. I just couldn’t see driving 150 miles to some site in the mountains.

I think what happens is ABC extended warranty company calls you, you tell them to take you off their list, the guy phoning doesn't want to report he has lost a potential customer and doesn't have time to remove you - might not even have access, he has to leave his awful job of calling and getting a .01% response rate, and the new person comes in all eager and they call you again.

Who knows, with today’s technology they can probably auto dial every number in the world a million times until someone picks up.
Now with that kind of efficiency can someone explain to me how NY managed to lose one of the tax forms I sent them and want me to send another? Funny how they lost only the form that gives me a refund.

I have no problems with the lotteries to speed things up a little, or encourage the contrarians. IMO better use of money than praetorian sector bennies and LARPing gear, bridges to nowhere, corporate welfare, etc.
Have you ever thought that this is a good way to prevent the spread of those genes?

Two friends refused to get vaccinated. They both ended up getting Covid. She was in the hospital for a short time, but he was in the hospital for a few weeks, had to use oxygen when released and is still using oxygen now after 3 or 4 weeks. He also lost 40 pounds. Fortunately, somehow, he didn't have to be on a ventilator.
He recently said it was a mistake to not get vaccinated and said he will get the shots when he is eligible. Her? I don't know. I think she was the one talking him out of it for some reason.

Now he'll get the shot! But now he probably has immunity.
Lots of people get covid and have no or mild symptoms, some almost die or do die. The ones that have a rough time say they wish they had the shot.

I feel bad for the medical people that have to take care of them. But people that do that, I can't work up much sympathy. And who knows how many other people they could have infected?

And yes, they did allow a "religious waiver", but that wasn't the problem here.
