I think I need professional help

My darling wife took my truck down some trail and didn't use her head! She brought it back looking like this from bumper to bumper. I was PISSED! I've tried a quick hand polish but they are still there. I may need to just have a shop take care of this.

cant tell from the picture but has the scratch dug into the clear or just transfer from trees ? if it hasn't dug into the clear then you can try a harder compound. Just be a bit cautious with its use ,you can use meguiars compound polish as its a bit more forgiving

Question goes begging, and Im sorry for the scratch dude. But Id be asking my mrs why she was driving down some dark narrow trail , hopefully it wasnt cottaging / ******' LOL

If you can run the back of your finger nail on the scratch and you can not feel it, you should be able to correct(remove) the scratch using some polish and a buffer. If your nail catches on the scratch it probably should be corrected by a professional detailer. After correction you should re-seal and then wax.

LOL! No, nothing like that. We were canoeing for my brothier-in-laws birthday and she went with another family member to hang a sign from a bridge.

Got half of it out, but what is left catches my nail. Need to have it done by a pro, just don't want swirl marks when they are done.

Bummer......Like mentioned if your nail catches it, it won't come completely out however you can lessen it.

A "good"(professional) detailer will not leave any swirl marks. Look on autopia, which is a world wide professional detailers site and try to find someone in your area, then go check his/her work and talk to previous customers.
