If it is a good quality hood it should be gel-coated...if that is the case just give it a good rub down with some nice wax.

I don't recomend trying to clearcoat wour own hood, if it really needs to be done take it to a profesional to have it done.

i would have it done or do it your self if you think you can just practice before you do it.

1. wet sand it

2. clean and dry very well

3. clear away
