Default Hard top scratches

Any tips on removing/fixing scratches on a hard top?

Pretty sure there is no "removing scratches from hard top" options. Repaint, bed line, or black sharpie for quick hide (or so I've heard).

Touch-up paint for hardtops are available. Quick Google search will bring up several options.

Flat black nail polish works good. Just throw a bottle in your console and you've always got it available.

Rustoleum satin black is spot-on for color but just slightly more glossy

Did my freedom panels and it looks very close; you wouldn't notice unless you were told

How about the other issue? I have white streaks on my tub from the top rubbing when I remove or replace it. That plastic is too soft. It's a pain to rub it off too.

Drive in the woods and get more scratches that will eventually hide the old ones.
