    Hello all,

    First off, no biggie if this can't be mitigated or fixed. I was just curious if there was any reasonable solution for aesthetic purposes.

    I got into a hurry backing up a trailer and got too close to a rosebush. I was able to buff out the scratches in the clear coat, but I have not been able to remove these scratches. Any suggestions for a product that might work? Thank you in advance.

    Unfortunately that's vinyl wrap so you might be able to hide it a little with sealant but not remove it. Some people are just removing them and reveal the paint....not sure if a body shop who does wrap can do anything:notsure:

    Yea, many say it's just a truck so live with it but I can't either. I Always remove the offroad pinstripes when I can't avoid them.
