I would touch that up using factory touchup paint and using a tooth pick with the tip mashed a little to use as applicator.

even though our hoods are aluminum, it can still corrode if left out in the open. biggest worry for me is for the corrosion to start UNDER the surrounding paint and paint starts flaking off. ive had that happen on my older dd with metal hood. ofcourse i touched it up and placed clearbra over the area so the paint didnt flake completely off.

good to hear you were able to remove the cone marks off the wheels.
wax on wheels is also a great preventative measure.

Probably. Even though its an expense I was hoping I could avoid for a few more years. I already knew one day the front bumper would need to be repainted. It has too many battle scars and I don't even track
