Has anyone had paint issue on their 05's. I have all kinds of fine scratches and swirl marks. Not sure if clear coat is worn or what! Made mistake over winter of brushing off snow and may have damaged.

fine scratches and swirl marks can mostly be removed with a really good waxing..i recommend you spend a weekend in the garage with your baby and do a full detailing.. as far as compounds I prefer using the Meguirres Mirror Glaze product line.. its 3 steps step 1) swirl remover step 2) show car glaze, and step 3) hi-tech yellow.. each step should be applied and removed before applying the next step...do it in small sections because it is going to wear you out!!!! when you are done the finish is going to look the best it can possibly look for the condition it is in.
I used to have a mobile detailing operation with 1 other person it would take us about 8-10 hours to do a car from start to finish..but trust me it was worth it every time!!
I think the paint (at least flame red) was put on light. I have swirls and stuff all over the truck. I can tell whoever had this truck it was an outside truck. The clear is starting bubble on the roof and rail of the bed, the wing eh its a mess. I'll have to have the whole thing repainted, but I was thinking of doing a wrap sometime in the future.
Was thinking about a plum crazy purple wrap. Im not a fan of the paint jobs, im sure the guys who are able to keep there trucks in garages likely have better paint.
Not really scratches for me just the clear has started peeling since I've been in Canada. I didn't have any issues in North Carolina but after our first winter in Canada and the truck being half way out of the storage garage for the first few months the clear has started coming off on the spoiler and pitting really bad on the tonneau cover.Has anyone had paint issue on their 05's.
