Light scratches on hood

blinkme323 · 10-28-2010, 02:06 AM

Hey guys, for a few months I was using a bra for protection on my z and it included partial hood protection. Well, I decided to take off the bra and found that there were now scratches on the hood right on the line where the protector ended and the rest of the hood continued (I guess they were caused by it moving around). I attempted to buff out the scratches by hand and was moderately successful - you can now only see them from certain angles, but they are still there.

My question is, how can I remove these completely? I know they can't be too deep, as the leather protector was the only thing that caused them. My z is black btw. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow if possible.

Thanks

Watch and learn my friend. And if you are scared that you might mess up you car doing this type of work using a polisher, watch and learn again. This is how you fix paint. Doing it by hand is for the birds.
