Scratch removal

[Stryker6040]

Hey guys I noticed a lite scratch on my passenger side with the plastic bed rail meets the box, can anyone recommend a good product to try and take it out without potentially causing more issues?

try a polish first or even a car cleaner wax. pics would help the more qualified post suggestions.

Depends on how deep it is and go from there. Like @goDawgs65 said, more details/pics would help.

Cheers,

Thanks. I'd try ScratchX first and go from there.

You can apply it by hand. I've had good results with it with minor scratches. If that doesn't work, you'll need something with more bite, but I'd try this first.

Be sure to mask off the plastic cap or you’ll have scratchX chalk for a while. Blue painters tape works well.

Try the old soap and water trick. Spray a soapy mixture on the scratch and wipe off with a micro fiber cloth. If the scratch dispears and then reapears it is probably isolated to the clear coat. If that's the case it'll come out with some polishing or maybe wet sanding. Id start with a good polish and move up if that doesn't do the job.

I just used the ScratchX after trying polishing compound. Like to give you a big thanks for the recommendation, as of now I can not tell where the scratch was. I don't know if sunlight will show other, but I did my best to see the scratch and it looks GONE. Thanks again.

You bet. Glad to hear!

It looks like a very light scratch. For the light scratches, a car scratch remover can be a good option. I have already experienced light scratch in my vehicle, and that's why I am telling to try you a scratch remover. If you want recommendation, I will tell you to try Carfidant Scratch and Swirl Remover. It worked great for me.
