The hood pics are from before to after. I will need to go over the hood with a scotchbrite pad tho.

Looks great! I'm confused about what you did though. Are you saying that sanding with a scotchbrite did all that to the hood??? Or was there a multi-step process involving scotchbrite? Also, which color pads did you use along the way?

Again - looks awesome!
