    Looking for input on what product I should buy to remove the scuffs
    As far as I can tell they are not into the paint its almost like a hard plastic residue, only 2 spots that I'm going to touch up with the paint pen from Toyota
    Also the slight dent in the rear door, is this something that can be fixed with PDR?

    The dent can probably be done with PDR. Looks very minor.

    You can get some microfiber application pads and any decent polishing compound made for scratches and swirls should clean up the paint.

    Make sure you wash the truck well and clay bar the whole area you are going to be applying the polish to first. In fact I bet a clay bar will get almost all of it out.

    My favorite compounds are Meguiars M105 & M205. Probably knock it out with M205 and is local at Auto Zones now, never use to be. Reason I like using these products is because it all depends on pressure for the cutting.

    X2 on M105 & M205. Its been my goto compounds for many years.

    OP'er if you go with these products, start with M205 first as @jdrop01 mentions. Its less aggressive than M105 and should knock it out. If it doesn't, switch to M105 but make sure and follow up with a pass of M205 to remove any minor marring M105 could possibly leave behind.

    @WebberLander definitely love the M105 & M205. It's just user friendly and does an excellent job. The combo of both just make cars shine and I like how now it's available at local stores. Have you ever used Jescar Power Lock Plus Polymer Sealant? This sealant makes paint pop! Detailing world has endless options I use to venture around and use this and that but settled on the 105 & 205 combo.

    I too agree that the Mequiar's combo is a great tag team. If you like M105 though, you'll like M101 even better. M105 cuts and finishes nicely, but dusts and clumps like hell. Trust me and try the M101. You'll never go back to M105.

    I have not heard of that sealant. I got hooked on ceramic coatings a while back but I always love checking out new stuff. I'll have to check it out!

    Agreed 105 throws dust and clumps. I've found spritzing my pad with ONR has helped break up the clumping and also minimizes dusting. If I spritz too much then it becomes a real mess so I do it very sparingly. I've also combined 105 and 205 on one pad in a few circumstances which sort of mimics M101 but you're right, M101 is good stuff; I've just gotten so used to m105 and m205 combo.
