I had a tree branch swipe down the driver side of My Jeep and Left a pretty long scratch. It’s not a deep one but has a stand out white line the length of the door. Also a few little ones from putting the hard top on, these seem a little deeper but not ads noticeable. Any tips or suggestions on how to take care of them on my own?

I just conquered a hard overgrown accent here in Australia and put a huge scratch up the side. Heaps of minor ones which I accept but this bad boy goes from the bonnet to the tailight.. I tried a cut and polish but no luck. May have to wet and dry the clear coat..

When the scratches are light, you can try a scratch remover. Currently, I am using Carfidant Scratch and Swirl Remover. It works great for me.
But if they are deep, scratch remover will not be able to remove them. Then you need to-
  • clean the scratching area
  • use a scratch repair kit
  • apply rubbing compound
  • cover it with touch up paint
