depends on how bad it is some people say if its small ones you can polish the hood with peanut butter the oils will make it clear again otherwise maybe a wet sand with like 3500 paper and then re clear?

What you would do is resand the gel coat that is presently on the hood with 800 to 600 sandpaper. Next step is to reclear the hood with some good automotive clear.

Re: (milkmanLCA)
