Default Need help with scratches!

So I removed my Bushwacker Fender flares tonight that I have had on my truck less than a year because I didn't like the look and now have scratches/rub marks! I tried a light rubbing compound and it helped, but they are still visible. Any suggestions to remove the marks is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If you can catch it on your finger nail, you need a paint job. If its just a blemish, you can polish it out with a good polish and a polisher or ball.

I've never liked fender flares on the supercab trucks... They just look too over the top for some reason. I think they look good on a SCrew though. It's weird but I don't blame you for taking them off.

I wear chain marks as a badge of honor. Not really more like a badge of dishonor.
