4x4 Pinstripes

I'm looking for info on how you guys deal with the small scratches that we receive while exploring some of those tighter trails. What are your tips, tricks and produces you find that help clean up your truck after those unforgiving branches?

 

Clear 3M self healing full wrap.

 

Nothing a lil krylon swabbed off some cardboard and a fine tip brush doesn't fix.

Maguires Ultimate compound. Works great.

 

Wear them with pride, because I earned them.

 

I do nothing.

 

Get bigger scratches to make you forget about the small ones...

 

Seems like a wasted effort. Would rather be out earning more pinstripes than wasting time covering them.

 

my 2021 had 50 miles on when the dog shredded the clear coat on the drivers side. from the front door back.....

NOW both sides have trail pinstripping, and I EARNED them and the memories are priceless..

I might have them buffed out eventually, but more likely just get the deep ones fixed to prevent rust, and then wrap or goat armor

 

I'm 300 miles in and understand earning them. Not against them and don't baby my truck but if there's some way to help reduce after I'm not against it. Looking more for solutions not opinion on getting them.

 

Realistically, the only way to prevent paint damage on trails is to cover the paint so something else takes the damage. Wrap, linex, goat armor, etc.

Repairing paint damage is outside my area of expertise, but I imagine a rubbing compound is the general recommendation.

Personally, I just finished wrapping my Tacoma with 3M 2080. It was enormously time consuming and I’m on the fence if I’d do the whole truck again.

 

I wear my battlescars with pride of course
