scratches on camper and decals

Hello everyone, last weekend I my 2014 high country 318RE to the campground. On the way out I had to pull over to the side of the road and in doing so some tree branches scraped the side of my camper. It also got some scratches on some of my decals. Does anyone know how to get the scratches off the finish and the decals. thanks for your help. you folks are the best.

Try car wax first (I use NuFinish) and if that doesn't work get some light compound or car scratch remover. I've been successful taking out most scratches from tree branches

I use polishing compound which is a lite rubbing compound. Be careful on a painted finish as the paint is not all that thick.

Sometimes I get lucky with a pencil eraser for the decals but only on light scratches it wont work if the decal is gouged.

Like mentioned above ... an actual scratch in a decal is not coming out. Decals are made of vinyl and scratches can't be polished out ... sucessfully anyways. Perhaps NuFinish can hide light scratches ... never tried that.
