This is a pic of my brothers hood on his '97 F150. As you can see there are alot of little cracks in the clearcoat. Looks like someone got a razorblade and cut it all over the place. Now it is going to the fender etc. Anyone know how to eliminate this or minimize it? Ive tried to wax it and doesnt seem to have done anything.

 

Can you feel the scratches if you run your fingernail over it?

 

yea, just barely but u can feel them.

 

If you can feel them they are into the paint and you really can't do anything about it. The hood would have to be repainted. You might be able to use an abrassive polish to minimize the scratches, but since you can feel them they won't come out completely.

 

thanks man!

 

Hard to tell from the photo (seems out of focus) but my guess is the clearcoat's failing... get a trusted detailer or paint shop to check it out.

 

Heya jovez, where di you get that deck lid liner with the running pony? I want one!!

Thanks!

 

wow. my dad has a 97' expedition with 183,000 and no paint imperfections.

if you can feel it, dont touch it or you will ripo the paint up more

 

My uncle bought one for his Mach 1 at www.mach1registry.org There is a link to stuff for sale.
