Hello! I may have mentioned some damaged spots in the paint on my hood before. I have no idea how to make these go away, if they can at all. A guy at a carwash told me that these are irrepairable and that the only way to fix it would be a new paint job. I'm attaching a few pictures, because I dont' know how to describe the condition of the paint in words, except that it feels smooth to the touch...maybe not as smooth as the rest of the paint, but it doesn't really feel rough.

The two spots are on the right rear corner of the hood, almost above where the battery is, and a strip along the very center of the hood (that doesn't show up as well in the pictures as the other spot, but I think it's the same type of damage).

Any comments would be appreciated...thanks in advance!

This is one view of the spot on the right rear corner, taken without the camera flash.
