Please Help!!!

So I just got my 2009 Black XLT Supercab 4X4 three days ago, and today I'm walking out to my truck and saw what seemed to be wheel marks on the driver side bed in the upper most corner next to the rear window. So I took a better look and sure enough that's what they where so looking even closer I could see three fine little scratches that the dealer ship must have buffed out right before I got it, or tried to aleast. Please someone help I planned on waxing the truck this weekend because I like to make sure the paint stays beautiful, my question is there something I need to do to that part to remove those marks?

Can you post some pics of the scratches? It would be more helpful.

Tough situation. The problem with taking it back to the dealer is that you are putting it in the hands of the same guys that probably put the buffer marks there in the first place.

So I spoke with the General Manager at the dealership today and he said that he is more than willing to have there top guy take care of it when he gets back in from his vacation. He was not the one who put the wheel marks in the bed, but the guy covering for him which will never touch my truck again. So I will keep you guys posted and thanks for trying to help.
