My Wife decided to take the X off-roading to avoid an accident and she ran thru some trees, they scratched along each side of the truck and left marks in the clearcoat I am guessing.
They are not down to the paint but they are into the clearcoat, they left light colored marks in it.

How do I get these out or reduce their obviousness?
Thanks!

 

I have to buff them out using Mcguires swirl remover/polish. You can still see some of the worst ones but minor ones will disappear.
Isn't it sad how the leafiest green twigs can scratch the paint on these newer vehicle's. How is someone supposed to use 4x4 if they have to polish truck for two days afterwards to remove scratches. I sure do miis the days of paint with 'lead' and Imron clear!

It is sad, these were just saplings that she drove between!!

I will try the swirl remover this weekend, hopefully none of them are too bad.

Thanks!!

 

That is a big time pain, i feel for you. but those scratches usually appear to be worse than they are. just take your time and work on it a section at a time. i like the Mother's 3-step process. And perhaps the best way to get rid of scratches is to wax your truck every 4-6 months. you build up a mini forcefield that way. good luck.
