It appears that the detailer at the dealership hit the piano black B pillars with the buffer when my truck was getting prepped. Most of the time you can't notice it but in certain lighting, they look terrible. Is there any way to fix this without replacing the panels?

Not a bad idea to go the route of PPF, but these swirls can be removed with a finishing polishing pad and finish polish very easily.
but those damn swirls seem to magically return

They are pesky! That material is pretty when new, but is SO soft and swirls just by looking at it... I've had my truck for over a year and a half and almost need to polish mine. Will likely put a ceramic coating on mine since it will be a little harder than the clear coat on it.

Mine aren't horrible, but definitely swirled when look at the right angle. I've committed to no machine washing and got a pressure washer setup so I can DIY.

They'll need something eventually though.

I have the ocdplug pillar ppf on my F150 and really like them. I had an issue with the Lariat key pad cut out and they sent me a new set super quick. I got the screen ProTech for my wife’s Edge and had to polish the pillars cause that film is clear.
