[QUOTE="dolfanatic1399, post: 73930, member: 2309"] Walked out to my truck a few days ago and my heart just dropped. I noticed an area on the hood just behind the vent on the passenger side that was scratched all to shit. My wife was the last one to drive it, but she has no idea how they got there, imagine that. Damn I was pissed. She suggests that maybe they had been there awhile and I just haddent noticed. ********, this stuck out a sore thumb on my tuxedo black hood. It damn sure didnt happen just sittin there in the driveway. Well after all the cussing and crying I had to do something to fix it. Not being a detail man I searched you tube for some answers. I found several videos on how to remove scratchs. Some talked about using wet sand paper, which totally scared the hell out of me. I could feel the scratchs with my finger nail, but they were not deep enough to catch my nail, if you know what I mean. I decided on a rubbing compound, polishing compound and wax. I dont have any experience with orbital machines and heard horror stories of burning the paint, so I did it the old fashioned way. Well after about 2 hrs of rubbing my arms off, I finally rubbed all of them out with the rubbing compound. I then went over the area with the polishing compound followed by the wax. I was so relieved and amazed at the end result. I never would have imagined in my wildest dreams that I could get them out. Just goes to show that sometimes things arent always as bad as they seem. And remember the wife no's "nothing" about what happened. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
