what to do to remove imperfection on hood?

R_squared · 07-08-2007, 11:01 AM

I've had my FBP FA5 for almost 4 months now and ever since I got it, it's had a "blemish" on the hood. It kind looks a smudge or scuff and is on both the hood and the body right next to where the two meet. It's only about a 1 square inch area. Anyway, I've tried washing, waxing, claybarring, and I still haven't been able to remove this. Any ideas on what I can do? I would've said something at the dealership but I didn't realize how much of a pain it would be to remove. I'd post a pic but I'm at work right now.

i would first suggest for you to post up a pic when you can...

since you've claybarred and what not and its still their then i would think that its comething with the clearcoat....in which then your looking at maybe compounding or polishing it out...

but i would post up a pic b4 jumping to any conclusions!

by any chance is it in the middle, like between the front and top of the hood but on the side where they meet??? some what above the wheel fender but where the hood and fender meet???

I have those as well... three to be exact. I would snap some pictures but they seem to only be viewable by human eye in certain light. Any suggestions please...
