Scratch removal.

I got a lot of scratches on the front nose of my hood. I tried 3 different "scratch removers" that did jack crap. The hood is a HELL of a lot more shiney but nothing done to the scratches. I used Turtle Wax polishing gel, turtle wax rubbing compund, and Scratch X from Meguiars. All 3 did the same amount of nothing for my scratches. Tried by hand and with a random orbit buffer and nadda :-(.
 






Try a Porter Cable 7336 or 7242 I believe. If you know how to use a rotary that will definitely work. The secret is heat and the aggresivness of the pad. Wetsanding also will do the trick.
 






PC 7424 + Menzerna intensive and final polishes, or Sonus polishes.
 






simple test
Run your finger nail down the paint. If your figer nail catches it your odds of saving it are slim.
