Scratches

[MastuhWaffles]

Maybe I'm in the wrong section for this, but I got a bunch of scratches from braches recently and I was wondering what's the best way to get them off?

Might be something that a very fine buffing compound could take out. I've not used it for so long you'll want to read up on how to do it.

S-

I have some rubbing compound, will that work?

Yeah you don't want to make a habit of buffing out scratches using a rubbing compound if you don't want your paint's primer to suddenly start appearing.
If it's just this one time, then no problem. But if this is your wheeler, expect to have scratches and live with them.

A typical polishing wax will greatly subdue the appearance of any scratches without wearing the paint down.

It's all good now, I took it to the car wash. No more scratches.
I don't off road very much, I went hardcore this time to prove a point that a 2WD could offroad. And the branches wanted to make sure they left their mark.
