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 :-(.
