I personally wouldn't waist my time. If the owner is really concerned with how it looks they will fix it properly by bringing it to the body shop rather then waist money on me trying to make them look "better".



That being said I've found MF pads on the DA do a pretty good job of cleaning out scratches and chips, but I don't think they'd do much for crows feet. Never tried any kind of solvent on them, which may be an option....maybe Ron will chime in with a solution.

The so-called 'crows feet' are usually a sign of paint system failure, as the clear coat is compromised, using solvents may exacerbate the problem.

That sucks. My 2006 civic has developed those on the hood. The car gets waxed AT LEAST once every 2 months.
