Angry Crap!!!

The weather here in Michigan is finally coming around. Had the day off, did thing's around the house (spring stuff). Later after all that I decided I'd give JK a good hand wash. Came time to dry and raised the hood and heard a nasty screach sound! I'd forgotten the Windshield wiper's were upAlas two 2"to 3" scratches on the hood. So here I sit trying to move on remembering some you saying you never wash your jeeps and that scratches are badges of honor. But this was just stupid and of course that first scratch suck's. Anyhow here's the point , I used Touch up paint to try and hide my stupidity (didn't really work) and wondered how many Jeeper's would admit to having Touch up paint.

You should have tried clay bar first, it might have made it less noticeable.

Your Jeep dealer has factory touch up paint in your color.
