scratch pics!

Ive got an 02 silverado z71 color Pewter that gets abused quite a bit!!
This was my car before i got bmw so ive had it for almost 4 years know and am just starting to see some fine scratches under my halogen lights!!
ive only every waxed it twice a year even know the truck is neglected but ive been driving it more ever since i wrecked my first 335i and am trying to bring it back to life!! So ive got it in the garage today giving it a much needed wax job and saw some thing I wanted to try to pick up with my camera to try and show what ive got to work with!!!
Im not sure if its just oxidation or what but my paint seems to be stained and ive got several fine scratches in swirl patterns that im sure got there over the years of me washing and NOT knowing what i was doing until just a year ago!! lol
YES im reall anal and im sure some people will say its minor but i will be making a date with my truck in the next few weeks to detail it but for know i just threw some liquid souveran on it!!

Skip the Klasse SG over the hand glaze, or skip the hand glaze all together. They won't play nice.

Nice collection, have you ever tried the RMG + Pinnacle combination? Not much durability, but love the look of it for a couple weeks.

Let us know how the detail goes!
