Scratches, ugh...
Ok so the last trail i went on did a number on the one side of my truck. mostly from the pine trees. they dont feel deep or appear to be severe, just noticeble.
i i have meguires cleaner, polish and gold class wax at home plus the scratch remover but last time i tried that it didnt really help. they arent deep enough to require a wet sanding but deep enough the polish/wax doesnt seem to help. also the scratch remover and VERY fine rubbing compound hasnt worked either...
so any suggestions would be appraciated.

If your that worried about scratches, don't take it off-road?
Especially since you have a fullsize, your just gonna have to suck it up, or do alot of cleaning/polishing every single time you go off-road.
I got scratches all up and down mine and a huge dent in the right rear quarter panel. If i get it fixed i know as soon as it was finished and nice again, something else would happen, so I just keep the interior clean lol.

i agree, you can go offroad and have a nice truck.
I used this Meguiars #83 Dual Action Cleaner/Polish and it take almost everything out. Its not made to wax a whole truck with, only scratches and things.

Im not sure what stores sell it, but my uncle ordered a bottle off the internet and gave me half. There is only 1 scratch on my truck that i couldnt get out with that stuff....and nothing else takes it out.
it is fron a tree branch as well.

u can have a nice truck and wheel it, i know i've done it before. i just avoid the tight trails but this was un-avoidable. it doesnt bother me but i cant seem to get them out when it comes time to clean/polish/wax em and i figured ya'll may have some suggestions.

yea.. dont take it to heart. he was just saying. its hard to keep it nice man. **** like he said, i think i have more or just as many paint blemishes from road use than offroad.
my step side wheel wells are very dull and pitted from the sray of the front tires
but do wat ya want men,.. i love havn a clean truck too, but some things just dont come out :p

I go offroadin whenever I can and try to be nice to the paint, but sometimes sh*t happens and scratches occur. I think right now I'm at about 8 total, each with a pretty cool story. For any crap that you get for havin a scratched truck, you make up for in respect for using it as an actual truck and not as a mall crawler. That's just my 2 cents..
