Well, Jet washed it, then hand washed it with Turtlewax, and the scratches remain.
Most are just light lines runing front to back, but a couple are more pronounced in depth. None have cut through the paint though, so assume they have just scratched the lacquer.
Had similar on another vehicle due to a large branch I drove against on a normal road - that was was easy to remove with coloured wax, but came back when the wax wore off. So assume these will be similar.
A lot of work I would say to get it back to how it was, so not gonna bother for the time being - especially if Andys next trip out comes to fruition...
Had a chat on Sunday and it's in the planning stages
Try The Wayfarer in the summer when the Gorse it at maximum.
You end up with a car that looks like you wash it with a brillo pad!
Hands up those who remember that trail in South East Wales that 4Runner Pete took us down - mid summer 2009 I think? Hadn't been driven for so long that there was no visible track, just a wall of vegetation about 100 yards deep that we plunged through. Thats where Boyo lost a wheel arch from the gin palace and did his famous "my engine is dying!!!" then found a leaf covering his snorkel mouth
shropshire hills. Google stiperstones, long mynd, craven arms, and you'll get an idea of the terrain.
What you won't get is the feeling of putting your surf on 3 wheels at a very accute sideways angle or a rediculously steep rock hill, testing every part of you and your vehicle's abilities.... Deffo recommend these days out if you bought your truck to off road!
Oh and the sound of wood against metal....ouch!
I've got some batttle scars, but, now i've got an off roader, not a chelsea tractor.....

Ross, you were there weren't you?
I was behind Boyo on that one, bet the sapling has recovered better than his cruiser
