Sorry for the delay in response centerforce99...

Basically what you are looking at on your CF hood is swirl marks and surface oxidation, both can be cured with a little bit of time and effort. The first thing you'll want to decide on is if you want to apply this by hand or invest in a buffer. A buffer will definitely get you better results, however to invest in a quality buffer, such as the Porter Cable 7424, you would be looking to spend around $170 or so for what you would need to get the job done. The benefits of owning a quality random orbital buffer are: better results, more consistent results, less time and energy on your end, and best of all its paint safe. We joke around by saying the only way you'll damage the paint is if you throw the buffer at your vehicle. We are running a December special on the buffers so if you end up picking it up anytime now thru the end of December it would cost $155 instead of $170 for what you would need which would be:

Porter Cable Starter Kit - $144.99
Orange Light Cutting Pad - $9.99

That's a best case scenario, a great alternative to go by hand would be to look into the Lake Country Hand Applicator Kit. This gives you the proper hand applicator with velcro interchangeable pads, similar to the ones you would use with the Porter Cable, which will allow you to properly adjust the cutting power of the polishes as well as give you even distribution of pressure by hand.

Once you decide on your application method, then you would need some polish. Typically for imperfections that bad, you want to do a 2-step polish, one that is a medium aggressive polish followed by a finishing polish. A great set of polishes that work great by hand or with a buffer are the Poorboy's SSR 2.5 and Poorboy's SSR 1 polishes. First you would start with the 2.5 and get a majority of the imperfections to disappear, then follow up with the SSR 1 to bring back gloss and depth.

To read up a little more about the application process and what the polishes do specifically, read these two articles: Cutting Polish & Finishing Polish

This should definitely give you enough information to make your decision on what to by to fix your car.

If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask.
