    Hi,

    Recently purchased this 2020 Toyota Tundra, it’s a SR5 but Canadian (Auto Climate, Heated Seats, Leather, etc)

    I have a few scratches on the side, not deep, what would you recommend as best method and products to clear those up?
    As well, I have what looks like some type of chemical or liquid that caused a streak on the side panel. I haven’t been able to get this out… any recommendations for some aggressive strategy to clear this up?

    ps. Bilstein 5100’s going on it in a few weeks, bonus for exhaust recommendations.

    If you can catch your nail in it...time for a repaint.

    Can’t catch a nail on it, but seems to be a chemical or stain from a liquid, that may have got under the clear coat or “poly coat”
