Removing some light scratches - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

redneck64 · 03-08-2012, 04:06 PM

I got my truck painted at Maaco in june of last year, I am in the woods alot and have gotten some light scratches in the paint and some that are very noticable. I was wondering what are some of the best products for removing these scratches or at least making them less noticable. This is a work truck but i still like it to look good

Ive included a pic of the color.

Being that it a Maaco paint job, there may or may not be alot of clear coat on it. If you buff through, your paint job is toast. What every you use, be very careful.

If it was me, I would start with something on the gentle side, like this...
