    I have a 23 Limited in Midnight Black Metallic. Love the color and have really treated it like a truck. I have quite a bit of rash on it from sage brush and other little off road nasties. It needs some love to get it back into shape. How have the other colors been holding up for you all? Especially those that get off the pavement.

    Anyone been to work on scratch removal? Clay bar etc. Any tips or products that worked well.

    I have some scratches from the car wash on my tailgate. Kinda sucks but I quit going there. A few small this and that’s, but for 41k it’s doing pretty good. When it’s clean it’s a stunner.

    I've used Meguiars Scratch Remover for years on various vehicles. Have had great success in removing/reducing the appearance of the scratches. There are other manufacturers with similar products and I'm sure they all work equally as well. They're essentially very fine "polishing" compounds, and work well as long as the scratch doesn't go to bare metal. In that case, you'd need some touch up paint and basic paint correction.
