iceman1575 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Well, I took my truck offroad (nothing severe, just some mudholes...lol) but one part I went through (I didn't realize at the time) had some tree branches that made slight scratches down the side. Nothing hugely noticeable unless you're up close. What's the best way to clean them up & make it look like it wasn't scratched? There's a slight part on the back rear bumper that's been scratched more (was there before I got it) that may help take that away as well...Ideas? Thanks! Quote POTATO!

Hifonics Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Try some scratch remover. It does work for light scratches. Mothers sells it I do believe as well as meguiar's. Take that stuff, a terry cloth and an hour. Buf the shit out of it. Then wax over it. Should help a lot.

It wasn't a real in depth scratch, just some branches off a small tree. Try some scratch remover. It does work for light scratches. Mothers sells it I do believe as well as meguiar's.
