If used as designed, this truck is going to get much more dinged up than that. I would buff it out / touch-up or leave it. It’s nice to have the first one (always painful) on the new baby out of the way.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will take care of paint transfer nicely, too. We've used it several times on our other cars.
Please don’t do this on paint, let alone black paint or black plastic (if it’s like the R1T).. You’ll mar the clear coat and it will show like crazy on the dark color.

I don’t think you’re going to see much improvement from cleaning or polishing this. A repair, replacement, or wrap is going to give you the best results.

I feel your pain.... I just had the front PPF'd few days ago and then managed to drop a metal clamp on the back panel, not PPF'd of course, just above wheel arch!!. Nice little white ding about inch long..

I ordered the touch up pen from Gear shop, see how that goes :)
