Default Dammit. my TC hood is scratched up.WTF

But its weird you can only see it clearly in the shade cause if you try to see in in broad daylight you have to get really close or see it at 90 degree angle. plus you cant FEEL the scratches. almost like if it was blended in wiht it. I've only had my car 1 week. Imma take it back to dealer to see maybe they can put some touch up paint or something..

I washed it today. but i dotn think it would be that cause why would it be only the hood... The dealer can do something at least only this 1 time right?

dealer is not gonna help you man, sorry. Its possible maybe when u were washing your car a rock, or pebbles got caught in your sponge or rag and thats what scratched just that area. Dealer probably will tell you the same thing. Plus touch up paint will do nothing but make it look more obvious.

thats exactly why I asked, or if your rag had little stuff it, smaller than sand, it could cause swirls

well, i'd say no matter what you do, i'd definately suggest a good wax, all around.

There are some good products you can buy that will take out those scratches and even make the whole car look better. Look up the products on the "Parts" section or PM or email me and i'll show ya what to get and such.
