Hood marks

[Nuts]

Is there anyway to get rid of the shiny crease marks on an E85 hood? I've used auto glum cleaner and protector and it does look better but I suspect the creases are permanent wear.

Any ideas please?

Sorry if this is a frequent topic!

I use the same and if you are aggressive with the sponge provided during the "cleaning" step they usually all come out

Before soaking the hood make a note where they are and focus on them for areas for a few minutes each.

The hood will crease with more use, and I find that hoods keep the creases no matter what product you try. I had a total hood recolour once and that was the best result so far. But it wasnt long before the usual big creases started to show wear again.
I try to use some nice products, like Autoglym, to keep the hood immaculately clean, as the creases dont tend to show too badly with use.
I dont really know of any real cure for some of the worse creases, I surely wouldnt go to the expenses of a new hood for a few creases.

TOP TIP: Just keep the hood down, look cool, keep cool, youll never see the creases 8)

Simple answer is 'no' you can't remove them as the fabric rubbing fabric and compressed togehter polishes the surface fibres.

Any attempt to in effect 'rough them up' is just temporary and will soon flatten and shine and risks significant damage to the fibres.

Accept as is or buy a new hood, keep it down or fit a hard top
