I thought I was being smart by removing a couple of door scuffs on my truck with a green scracher and some water. Good news is it worked very well but it left scratches and dullness in the paint. I've tried a couple of the different scratch removal products and even tried my buffer. What else can I do?

I would recomend wet sanding with ultra fine sandpaper like a 2000 or finer grit and polishing with a medium rubbing compound,preferably machine polishing.
Once you eliminate the scratches,move to a finer polish,and finish with a good glaze like Meguiers.
Depending on the color of the paint(use extreme caution when sandin metallic colors)you should be able to make it look like new.

If your first effort is unsuccessful, ask Len at autobodystore.com He is very much a paint/restoration expert, and the great thing is he is like the guys here, he wants to help! Good luck. Scott
