I do not know if that is a good product or not, personally, the scratches on my trk just add character.

Just thought of something, I put th scratches on my trk while off roading, your scratches were put there by somebody else.

haha yeah. but i dont recall seeing them when i was washing my car.
hm. oh well. im just anal about everything in life so its going to bother me haha. when i take it offroading my self and do the damages i wont really care as much.

Remember, it is just a car. Steel, alumimum, rubber and plastic. It can be repaired/replaced.
No need to be so anal about it.

I used the auto sharp pen about a month ago after someone keyed the pass side of the truck (first two pics). I also tried it on the roof from a low hanging branch (last two pics). It works pretty well just keep the tip nice and moist or it'll thicken up and not apply as well. It does self level which makes it better for roofs and hoods but does cover the exposed primer on the side panels very well. And the color is a perfect match unless you park in the sun a lot.

i do park in the sun a lot but a smudge that looks like its from a little kid is better than silver chunks lol. i might have to invest in one of these pens. it looks great though. thats pretty much what i wanted if it looks good because ive seen some that are chunky and makes the car look worse.

Are the scratches thru the paint, have you tried rubbing them out?
Send it to a shop and you are looking at $100's of dollars.

TO add on to what Mike said, go out and buy a product such as 3M rubbing compound and see if you can rub them them out. I had some minor scratches that disappeared after doing this method. If they are deep it wont work, but its worth a try. If you cant find 3M rubbing compound there are other good products are are similar, but 3M is the one that worked for me. Good luck.
