Scratches

I have a Friend that scratched his truck up against a few branches off a tree... and some are fairly deep... What's the best way to try and buff these out... Thanks...

It all depends on how deep the scratches are and what condition the paint is in. If you catch a lot of your fingernail on it when you rub your finger across it, you might have to wetsand. Or, you can try a rotary buffer (only if you are experienced with it) and a cutting pad with some paint cleaner. Always try the least aggressive step first. There are many ways to go about it, just don't use scratch x or scratch out. these only leave a pigment to fill in the scratch and will wash away and the scratch will reappear.
