    Hard to describe...

    The hood of my 03 mm, is marked "up", I say up because there are many many marks on the hood, not deep but raised, almost like super miniscule
    tractor track markings, where the edges are raised and not indented, somewhat star shaped, with a consistent pattern, I tried a cut wax, but didn't help,
    considering trying a wet sand, any suggestions on wet sanding?, another description might be like throwing sand on a wet paint job.

    03 has random issues with paint, clear coat popping, rust forming underneath. Mostly on hood, roof, rear deck lid. Sounds like you have symptoms

    Thank you, that probably explains it, it seems to come from the inside outward.

    When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.

    Would lacquer checking be the same as possible rust contaniment?.

    No, lacquer checking looks like tiny cracks in the paint, usually all over.

    Yes, thank you, it looks exactly the same, knowing the source of the problem is half the battle, do you know if a wet sanding could help this?.

    I read the rest of your post, great information on what to do with this problem, wet sanding won't work.

    Was wondering if it would cost less to just buy a whole new hood from another car, any one know what years and models of cars would work?.

    You could easily buy a new hood and have it painted at a local shop. Buying someone else's problem will only cause more pain (IMO)
