How do you folks deal with scratches?

Custom pinstripes are something to be proud of.

 

I've learned to live with them

 

BUT THEN WHAT IF THAT GETS SCRATCHED

WHEN WILL IT END!

 

It's the ciiiiiiiiircle of liiiiiiiife...

 

I get annoyed at the 2 scratches it has, but then again the truck has only been down unpaved driveways, and never "off-road". However, I just moved to WA & winter is coming...

3M Scratch Removal works very good on surface scratches. What I do is fill the scratch with touch-up paint (you can get the pen/brush type at the dealer or from Amazon) and dab it with a paper towel to eliminate surface abnormalities -- make the surface smooth. Wait an hour to dry. Then I use the scratch remover per the instructions. For scratches to the metal, use a primer, spray touch-up paint, buff, apply a clear coat, buff. Wet sanding might be necessary. There are sites and YouTube channels that show various techniques.
