Meguairs Scratch X is awesome stuff...but i've never used it on CF before. is your hood painted or un-painted?

 

I would of killed the ******* cat.

 

the hood it not painted it just plain carbon fiber

 

just use compund and then wax it, most CF hoods have a clear coat on them so it works same as any other painted surface on your car.....use a light rubbing compound and then hand-glaze (or good wax)

 

Worked for me. My friend works at a Body Shop. We just used some 3M very light rubbing compound, buffed and put some fresh carnuba on there. Looks great.

 

buff it, compound, then wax it

do that and you should be good. Or if all else fails you might have to take your hood in to the body shop and have them clear coat it again.

 

when I first read it I thought you said your g/f jumped on your hood. I had this friend of mine and she thought she was gonna be funny and sat on my cf hood and it made a crack sound. she thought it was funyn when I told her not to sit on the hood.

get a hack saw and cut a sword shape out of the middle of your hood then stab it through the cats torso at least someone will pay for the damage might as well be a useless cat

 

If not go to a body shop and they can sand the clear lightly should get the scratches out, then compound and a polish.

 

if the scratches are very bad , you could wetsand the hole hood with verry fine grit 1500+ on a sanding block and re clear the hole hood.Be just like new!! Just make sure not to brake through to the CF around the edges ... It will take some work depending on the depth of the scratch but I wouldnt try it with anything less than 1500 , scratches on the top of the clear are one thing , sand scratches under it would look like ****..

if the cat just scratched the gel coast it might buff out

Yeah my mothers cat has scratched my hood all to hell and I have'nt killed it yet.

 

If my gf's cat did that, out of no where there would be road kill in the road about half a block down........poor kitty, it got lost and scared then got hit.....poor poor little thing......

works every time. i love animals...i really do...but there are some situations where putting them down is the right thing to do.....j/k

 

you better not touch that cat!

 

lol..yo same thing happend to me... but after tha craxkin sound i look forever but couldnt find n e cracks....n this was a pretty thick chick...

 

ok i tryed buffing it out and they all came out they were just light scraches but the cats not sticking around after tonight !!!!!!! thanks 4 all the help

 

Glad to hear you got it all worked out. I personally don't think killing the cat over a few scratches that buff out is wise.

 

Waxing and buffing the hood will take out light scratches. If there are deep scratches, then you need to take the hood to a paint shop and have them spray a few coats of clear on it. That'll cover it right up and make it look like a brand new hood again.
