Default scratch removant suggestion
Well I got a foot long scratch right behind the rear wheel on the passenger side (its a white scratch so it should come off) I was wondering whats a coold scratch removant that could remove this scratch without waxing or buffing ( i dont mind using elbow grease . I know turtle wax and meguiars has some rubbing compound for scratches so I was wondering what you guys would suggestion.

I use Turtle Wax Rubbing compound, the expensive one, and it takes 96% of all my scrathces out. And I get a ton of them thanks to the woods.

I tried rubbing the surface with my finger while applying pressure and some of it has come off. I am hoping rubbing compound and a good wax will fix it.

Use and orbital buffer and Meguiars ultimate compund and add a little elbow grease. It will come off, then throw a coat of wax over it. Trust me on this one man...it works

thanks guys, once the weather warms out I'll get the truck detailed and wax so hopefully that will help out the scratch as well

Cool, most scratches are paint transfers, so elbow grease always helps! I wish you were closer I would do it up for ya!
