professional detailing
Ok... i realize maybe i need to have my truck professionally buffed to get it to the level i want, then i'll keep it up, or at least try. I have a lot of scratches.. not deep... just like light scrapes. Where can I find a professional detailer? Like how do i know who is creditable and can do what i want. Where i'm from there are a lot of fly by night retailers.

I think there are some other OCD Detailing members here from your area, if not, find a couple and we can help you check them out.
There are many ways to skin a cat, most detailer have their own techniques, products they like and systems that work for them based on condition of the surface, time and money. Lots and lots of variables.
Another suggestion is to ask around some good body shops and see what they think.

my thing is... it looks great when its like evening time.. but bright sunshine the scratches definitly come out. I was going to check out body shops to see if a wetsand / reclearcoat was an option.. but i'm not so sure its to that point yet. I will definitly try to get pictures up within a day or two so maybe everyone can look and throw in their input. Ya know... i was happy with just washing it every other day and the occasional coat of wax (two times a year)... now after seeing everyone on here's vehicle... i just want more out of my paint!

DO NOT THINK ABOUT WETSANDING at this point. The main thing you will here echoed here time after time, is "least aggressive approach first".
There are MANY ways to handle your issues and Wetsanding isn't the first thing we turn to.
