Oh man...your truck is a piece! I'm just playing...I completely understand, little things bother me too. Try waxing the area several times where you can see the 'Silverado'...

You need to polish it. Or use some scratch remover. THEN wax.

The clay bar will remove all the impurities from the surface of the paint. You can get a kit from Oreily's that will have the clay and the spray. Just be sure to use lots of the spray to keep the surface wet. It won't hurt your paint at all, but be sure to put a good coat of wax on afterwards because the clay bar strips wax.

1. Claybar will probably do the trick.

2. Is that a stain on the plastic or is the plastic itself damaged? If its a stain spray it with some quick detailer and use a microfiber to try and remove it.
