Might sound like a newb question, but I just noticed that I have a nice 5 inch scratch on my hood. It's obvious that it's only the clear, but can you just buff it out like normal clear. Or since it's over the carbon will it not come out all the way? It's winter here so I haven't felt like braving the cold to try it out. Sorry for the NEWB question.
Thx Guys
 
I would think you could get that out with some scratch remover or worst case scenario wet sanding.....but I would get help with that if I were you.

Edit: and wait till summer to try anything.
