Brush scratches on new truck

[Austrian Hunter]

Ok, I bought me a 2012 Silverado this year and have been up scouting my place twice.  I bought t for hunting, fishing camping etc...  I will not have a pavement queen.  But dornet the thing is scratched up pretty damn good.  What do you guys use to get the scratches out??

I would try some more alders or sage brush.

Pine pinstripes......
Only way i have found is to buy a new truck and start over...

Drive in lots of mud beforehand.  It acts as a protective layer.

Probably only scratched the clear coat.  You want a buffing compound with aggressiveness to match the scratch.  Look up mcquires or griots.  (griots is pricey)

Later you can get those camo appliqués that might help protect the finish, or cover up the scratches.   
But it's a truck!   Every scratch should be a story of the wild!

Those are your new WA pinstripes.  It's like a badge.

That there is Washington pinstriping. Its required for a hunting, fishing, camping truck. Otherwise it IS a pavement queen. 

 Edit
Haha looks like NRA4life beat me to it.

Thanks, I tried Mcquires and it did help but not on all of them.  I think after the season I give griots a shot.  And yes, I agree, its a truck!

I brought my brand new GMC home in '02 from it's first deer hunt here and my wife just about killed me.

Dude,you bought the wrong color if you're concerned about scratches showing.

That’s exactly what happened to me.  She was with me on my last scouting and I thought she was about to shoot me.  Like its her truck or something

dents cover up scratches pretty well.    

Heavy coats of wax sometimes will help keep some of those light scratches from getting to the paint.

them are redneck Hieroglyphics,stories to be passed on for many a pink slips

One thing that also helps is if your truck is the color of road grime.  Mines almost perfect.  The key then is to never wash it and the grime eventually fills in the scratches.
