Well, something's seriously messed up on my hood. It looked like something dripped on it from somewhere, and I have no idea where that would have happened. It snowed on Saturday so the car got quite dirty & salty over the weekend, but like a good boy I took it to the wash today, a high end one. Just after I noticed where it looked like something ran down the hood of my car. It's kind of a white or clear, looks to me like it could've been ultra salty water, gas (not likely) or paint thinner. It appeared largely on top of the paint and you could carefully scratch some of it off, but it's all cloudy underneath. I removed the stickyish hard stuff by lightly scubbing it, but the underlying cloudyness was still there. Getting it all wet makes it look basically like normal, then wiping off the water makes it look cloudy again. I wonder if it took off the clear coat somehow.

The below link shows a picture, it's the best one I could take with my camera and it really does look <i>very</i> noticeable, unlike in the picture.

Does anyone have any ideas of what I should do? I really can't afford to repaint the whole hood, so I hope there's something less expensive that I could do. Thanks for any help!!

You should try the Wash & Wax section to see if those gurus have any idea: https://acurazine.com/forums/wash-wax-23/
