    Well, it has come. My 2013 has taken a little bit of a beating on the trails and I definitely have some scratches to attend to. Nothing massive, just the simple pin striping and tree branches rubbing against the clear coat. What can people recommend for good scratch removal so I can make them all disappear?!

    Ive usedMeguiars scratch X 2.0, it has worked pretty well for minor stuff depending on how bad your brush scratches are

    A pic would definitely help to see how deep they are. I've used 3m products from Napa and can't complain.

    True, and I am definitely a fan of battle scars, but it looks ugly on the silver. Definitely want to get them fixed.

    3M Rubbing Compound works great for me. They also make a scratch remover...not sure what the difference is.
