That is a large area of clearcoat faiuler you have, and if you contunue to PC it the area will get larger as as I bet the surrounding area where there is clearcoat is still very thin on the ground. PCing the "dead" area further will do no good at all, the paint here is a gone I'm afraid and you'd then be at removing the colour layer which is much thinner than the clearcoat was.

Also, not the colour layer has no clearcoat, it will fade much much faster without any protection there. So make sure its atleast protected with a good layer of wax.

But in honesty, my plan for that hood would be to take it to the bodyshop and get it resprayed.
