    Bad news...that will have to be repainted. Really no way to save it.

    As I look again at Mike's pics...are you saying your hood looks like the 'unblistered' area (middle of hood) or the left/right sides? If it is the middle area, you might me able to try and polish (NOT compound) gently and see if it helps.

        Thank you BillE and Sleper. I will try to post some pictures. I know that I can't make it completely go away, but I've watched videos on YouTube where they use a light sandpaper and compound(I have a buffer) and spray with clear coat, it looks a lot better. I came here to ask what Meguiar's products should I get and any tips you have. I can't afford a paint job. Thanks.
