    It seems to have cleaned up some with APC, but would like to know if anybody has put a Griots 3" to it? What pad and polish combo? It seems to have a Matte like finish. Jet Black.

    Be careful it may not be clearcoated. I would research before doing any correction to it.

    I think most undersides of hoods are not clearcoated. If you have a ptg, take some readings first.
    If not, maybe just use a paint cleanser with foam app on it.

    why are you polishing it to begin with? is it really that bad?

    It had a nasty film over it, but some APC and ONR did the job without using the Griots. Pics up in a bit.

    Yeah def not cleared and sticking any kind of abrasive polish would remove the paint. It looks good and wouldn't do any more then what you did.
