I'm still looking at this pickup to buy and I looked at it again yesterday. The one side looks as if it was run along a bunch of branches. None of the scratches seem deep. I ran my fingers over them and couldn't feel them at all. Would they come out with some elbow grease? Whats a good product to use on them? The truck is navy and you don't notice them until you get up close.

I had the same problem with a car I bought on Craigslist to resell and make a few bucks.I buffed it out with Meguiar's Buffing compound.I personally think Mequirs is a grear product.I'v use it to buff out the boat and various cars to remove oxidation.Small scratches in the top coat are usually no problem to buff out.But you do need a power buffer.Around here a buffer can be boiught for less that 50 bucks at anywhere from sears to autozone.

I am just hoping they all buff out. To me it just looks like clear coat damage.

I'll add a picture. Its the long horizontal scuffs that I'm worried about. The other three spots on the right I realize may take some more attention.

i use that meguiars scratch-X. i love that stuff. seems like itl remove just about any scratch you cant feel or can barely feel when you rub your finger across it.

I've seen something advertised on TV lately, some kind of a paintstick type applicator that's supposed to fill and hide scratches in paint. Obviously all I've seen is the ad but it's one of those things I may try one day.

stage 1 paint repair if you can feel the scratch with your fingernail

Would you guys let this hold you up from buying it?

Here is a picture of the back 2/3 of the truck. You can't see them till you get up close.
