HELP!...I scratched my paint!

And one of these comes in super handy for both applying and removing decals on your truck:

 

Decided to go this route.

 

Please report back how it worked out. I surely have some trail pinstripes that could use some love

 

3M scratch removal system. YouTube it. I give it a 10 out of 10. I have blazing blue and put a couple scratches on the bed. It worked as advertised. It's like $18 at auto parts stores. It's two buffer pads A drill adapter. A wet dry sandpaper thing that you use wet and is amazing. Two compounds. Works as advertised!!!

 

THIS^^^^^^

I have removed a lot of surface scratches (and chips) using wet sanding and Polish. I have a Porter Cable Orbital but sometimes I can't reach the tight spaces so I use an attachment on a drill to make a rotary sander/polisher.

 

Those look light.

Try Scratch X.

 

Kind of confusing. It should be 2000, then 3000, then 5000.

 

That's my go-to scratch remover.
It will polish out 2,000 grit and doesn't leave any swirl. Polished a strat guitar with it.
You might need several applications.

 

I wouldn't TOUCH a new truck with any sand paper. rubbing compound or wax should do it.

 

just a surface scratch, mostly in the clear coat.
wax, rubbing compound, polish.

anytime I have something like this, applicator pad and some meqs scratch remover rubbing compound, followed by random orbit polisher with a high quality polish, then a coat of carnuba wax.

 

The Meguiars Ultimate Compound worked wonders! I had to apply it 2 times but scratches completely disappeared!
