    Re: What to do to just preserve and enhance

    Wrap is a good idea but might cost $200-300 ifcyou can’t do yourself

    I’d personally just use this:

    Hey, I like that idea! Easier for some folks than for others, but if it`s feasible...well, yeah!

    Well I`m not going to get a new hood, but that is a good suggestion.

    I`m just going to wo with the AIO approach with some 3D speed

Although I`ve never used one, this might be a good use for the Decontamination Towels if you have one of those.

    Any concerns about "doing additional damage" are a moot point IMO...that`s not gonna get appreciably worse compared to how it already is. I`d be all about avoiding making any additional work for yourself, and IMO that`s most likely to occur if you get something stuck on the uneven remains of the damaged paint.
    A general question for anyone to answer, not just accumulator. I picked up one of those clay disks for a DA over the winter that I thought I`d break out on this car....would this be too aggressive of claying over the CC failure area on the hood?

    Astouffer512- Good thing your Q wasn`t directed to me as I`d never use one of those things on any vehicle ever That *is* something that could make things worse IMO..even though I previously said not to worry about that (didn`t expect that item to come up).

    Well for starters, what grit is the clay disk ? fine grit, medium grit, super fine grit ?
    Who makes it, chemical guys?

    Do you have some claybar lube to use with it, or what are you going to use ?

    It might be ok but if it starts tearing out the dead clearcoat, it could also make it look worse..
    Perhaps experiment carefully on just a little spot and see how it works..

    If that`s the only real damage on the car and you are doing a private party sale instead of a trade, I`d see if someone would do a respray for a couple hundred if you do the prep work. Anything else is just a waste of time. Spend the time on the interior.

    It is a fine grit from maxshine

    I was planning on using claybar lube, or maybe N914 diluted to use as lube
