I got some pretty ugly scratches from tree branches on the last trail ride i did. you guys got any tips on how to buff them suckers out, or at least the ones that arent as deep. any products/techiques would be great.

My last run up a familiar hill I got the S#!% scratched outta my passenger side from a fallen tree that was too low to see . I hate scratching my baby up, it really makes me sad :cry:.

Hey this is my 100th post. Horray for me!

They have touch-up paint "pens" at the dealer now. Not perfect, but they work pretty good.

If its a large area that is effected, you may have to go with Corey's buffing techniques. A foam pad and the right compound will work wonders on scratched paint. Granted you wont get rid of the scratches, but you can take the "bite" out of them.

I've used Maguire's Scratch-X I thinks its called, a rubbing compound that will get out alot of trail pinstriping.
