Default How to remove tree branch scratches

Does anyone have any advice on how to get tree branch scratches off Freelander. Would prefer something that can remove these scratched without any paint damage. I have used plastic protectant products but not good result overall. I found Mothers scratch remover at Auto Parts Warehouse. Does anyone have any experience with this product.?


Thanks...

There are a number of scratch removers at the auto parts store that can be safe on clear coat finishes, like one I use, Scratch X.
Takes a little work but between that and a good wax job afterwards, nearly all the scratches will be gone.

Generally, if you can feel the scratch by finger nail it can't removed by hand, not sure if it's that bad.

I fully recommend Meguire's Ultimate Compound. Scratch X is nice as well, but harder to work in by hand.
