Just a scratch? Clearcoat or paint?
I have a couple new scratches on my truck and was curious how you can tell if its just a clear coat scratch or if I need to find a paint match somewhere.?

take a bottle of soapy water and a microfiber rag. Simply spray the solution over the scratch a couple of times. Wipe it with the microfiber, but don't rub till it is dry. If it disappears then it is most likely just the clear coat. If it doesn't then it is most probably down into the paint. Your bottle should be filled with water a a few squirts of regular car wash soap.

Aluminum? Well I'll be, sounds plastic thanks for the tip, I
ll give that a shot as well.
Side note: Did discover the underside of my hood is aluminum since I cannot use my magnetic worklight any more. Would have been nice if they gave just a little spot of steel.

As to your pm, since you can't even catch you nail in the scratch, a simple compound on polish should be able to remove the scratches
