So I was laid up in bed sick last week. My girlfriend being the great gal that she is, went and washed my car while I was having a nap wanting to surprise me. Well, trouble is, something happened - I'm not exactly sure what - and now my hood is scratched up. I don't know how exactly she managed to scratch up the hood, but I guess the water had some grit in it or something. It looks like windows streaks from bad glass cleaner, but it's most definitely scratched. Not deep mind you, but it makes the hood look hazy. She feels awful about it.

I wish I had a picture to show you guys so you better know what I'm working with.

What is the best way to get these out?

 

is like scratches u get from a car wash when they dry the hood with cheap towels?

 

They usually have a surface scratch remover at any auto parts store for about $5 bucks. Its like a polish but it will remove those lite scratches your talking about.

 

u can just try to wax it out, or Nu Finish Scratch Doctor, u can find it at kragen, pep boys, it works really well for surface scratches. in this case i think a little polishing should do the trick.

 

could borrow/buy a buffer, and buff it out w/ various compounds...

 

just some polishing compound on a foam pad should do the trick
