Default Blemishes on my 5th gen accord?

On my 5th gen's hood, there are white spots on the front where it meets the front bumper. What are these things and how can I get rid of them? I think they're scratches, because i tried to remove them with my fingernail and they wouldn't budge, hoever they are raised, so they're on TOP of the paint.



Also, I found a patch on my rear bumper, how fixable is this?

You have to repaint your whole rear bumper if you want that patch to be gone.

I think you can claybar the front, but I am not sure about that:thinking:

To get my back bumper repainted it was estimated for about $496 from the insurance.

those look like the same dots I had on my hood before I painted the car, mine were chips from rocks and crap hitting the hood over the years.

That's the cheaper way to fix ur problem. That's what I'd do, matter of fact, I'd like to get a nice skin tight bra for mine, just got it painted a month or so ago. I just don't want a bra w/those ugly triangle things at the top of it, know what im talking about?

I have those same white spots on my hood and bumper. Its not chips from rocks, but now that I am writing this I am thinking it could be white paint from freshly painted street lines that got sprayed up by another car. Hmm... Anyway I tried a claybar and it didnt work. The only way I have been able to get them off is gently scratching them off with my fingernail.
