Had a great time and my rig handled it all amazing. even some rocks which scared me a bit in the beginning. only thing is a lot of the trails are more for atvs which means they were narrow so i scratched up my rig pretty bad any suggestions how to get them off? anyways heres some pics to enjoy....

Looks like fun. If youcan fel the scratch with your finger nail, usually it wont buff out. A good detailer with the right products and buffer know how can do wonders. Get someone good, you cab ruin black paint in a hurry!

duuuuude Matt, I would have gone with you, Great pics man, let me know next time you go.
Sucks about your scrathes, I know a guy in town who's really good when it comes to paint, let me know if you need his info.

Andres, I'm sorry bro. it was kind of a last moment decision to check it out. but it is definitely worth a second trip back out there so i will let you know next time I give it a shot. theres even camp grounds. but I'm definitely getting some more offroad protection for the next trip. ill pm you if i need that guys info. I'm gonna try a high gloss polish and wax it to see if that helps any, because i really don't want to pay out the a$$ to have them professionally removed

Looks like it was fun trip to bad you have some paint issues but you could just leave it muddy and know one would could tell .
Im with Frenzy wish there were places like that in europe, Germany has a few but nothing like the states.

Please do not waste your time with a "high gloss polish". High gloss polishes have almost no cutting power. The gloss will only amplify the scratch in appearance and you'll have a shinny scratch. You need a polish with some cut to eliminate the scratch completely. Look into the Meugiars #105 and then follow that with the Mequairs #205 and then wax it with the Meguairs #26 yellow wax and use a buffer with variable speed to really work those polishes to get the best cut. Doing this work by hand is a complete waste of time, especially on black. TRUST ME...I've tried! There is a chance that you'll only need the Meguiars #205, but I'd still want to see some pics, but good luck to you and if you are ever in Albuqueque NM... stop by and I'll look at it for you. lol

I didnt end up using the polish. i tried some sort of scratch remover which did take out some of the lighter scratches. i will try your method eventually. once we get some nicer weather. it supposed to rain here for the next week and a half ill try and get a pic of the scratches up soon

If you're going to wheel you could just keep the scratches until you sell plus it shows your rig gets used like it's supposed to. Nice pictures I wish there was stuff around here to wheel on that isn't closed off.
