Best method for removing scratches after going thru thick trails

Congrats on using your truck .

 

Wait. For scratches that are into the clear but not thru, heat will heal them out a bit. No sense in rubbing off clear where you don't have to. A light heat gunning might help if you live in cold climates, but a black truck in the sun should do it on its own.

After two weeks decide if you want to rub / buff / seal / wax. Chances are you'll have less to do.

Have had the same issue for years and other trucks I have owned. Last 2 were black. Depends how handy you want to be. I purchased a orbital polisher/buffer
Groits is the brand. I use three different polishing compounds , 1,2 then #3, different color foam pads, depends on the #compound then a finishing wax. All depends how deep the scratches are. You will remove approx 90 percent plus . Takes time. No swirls either. Invest 100.00-200.00 and it will last a long time. You will pay that just to have a pro do it. Good luck if you go that route. You wont regret it.
