The hoods going to need to get recleared.

For the lip, use screws, and lost of them. Screw them everywhere.

From my experience working at a carwash, clay it, use body shop solvent (to get rid of impurities) buff it and wax it. That should help you out some. This applies to paint tho, but i'm sure it'll help you out.

dont just rice the lip out and put screws everywhere..there should be 2 on each end, and a few 10mm under the lip, which is attached to your mud guard. for the hood, do a search cause i remember someone on here using some kind of compound for boat to bring the life back.
