Default New Hood On!...but...

Finally after two weeks the hood is on... The shop did a poor job at best..very dissappointed given the money i paid this guy. The color of the hood is about the only thing he did right..seems like the rest of the car has a red tint to it so the hood doesnt quite match. I couldnt figure out how this red tint got there..(it is not in door jams). After thinking about it i remmbered using this polish i bought at a auto show that was pink...and i remmber putting it on and thinking to myself..man this looks like it has ared tint to it afterdrying itbut i thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me...well now I am not so sure...My question is...could a car polish tinted pink or red actually get into the pores of the paint and permantly cause a red tint ?...I have tryed claying it, polishing compound but nothing works...I find it hard to believe a polish could get through the clearcoat...any thoughts anyone ?

I am not a fan of aftermarket hoods on Mustangs and I have seen that hood but on your carthat looks good!!

I like what you did with your car very nice imoand thatgrille you have works very good with that hood.
