Yeah, i know. Why the heck would I want to do that?! Ive got a test hood with a modern paint scheme that Id like to try something out on. I want to get a realistic amount of marring so I can try to correct by trying a few new methods. I dont wanna go high speed on mine or anyone elses car.

2K - 3K sandpaper should do the trick, or throw a MF towel on the ground and rub away on your hood.

Get a THICK bath towel and rub it on the hood as if u were tying to dry the paint. This should do the trick.

Run your car through a carwash a few times.

Wash it with ONR.
lol..j/k. Just get a old mit and wash your tires and wheel wells and then wash the paint with it.

I read in one of DaveKG`s posts that he uses some sort of wire wool and goes to town on his test panels.

Just go to the local spray wash and wait till the guy thats been mudding it washes his truck then use the brush on the hood.

Wire parts cleaning brush...
Drop your mitt on the ground and then use it again and go single bucket method...
