I just don't want to be the guy to make that jackoff's key work even worse with the sanding.

No problem, if you were local I'd even lend a hand and fix it for you for free, hate seeing peoples rides get destroyed by some jealous idiot as****es.

Damn!!! Sorry this happened to you. I like carbon fiber and the look of it. If this was me and I couldn't buff it out to me satisfaction, id sell it and buy another one.

If you feel that sratch is too deep, sand around the area with 2000 grit, if the scratch is still visible after sanding, you'll need to obtain some resin and catalyze a small amount, depending on how deep the scratch is, with a small blade add within the scratch crevice, making sure not too much or else it would cause more work trying to sand the resin while risking damaged from execesive sanding. Once the resin has cured (about 2 hours)begin to sand off resin with 2000, once you feel that most of the resin has been leveled begin to buff using a wool disk and compound (rotary buffer with light speed and pressure). Once all sanding marks have been knocked, use a dual action along the whole hood with a choice of polish, then clean thoroughly. Lastly wax and watch it look like new. That's my input, wish I could make a video for a more detailed process.

This, except use clear coat instead of resin. You can use a plastic toothpick or something similar to get the clear coat into the scratch.

I'd keep the carbon fiber unpainted on my car. Goes well with asphalt imo.

Sad to see such idiocy, I only wish it were a rare occurance for people to be such ass-hats.

Yes you can use clear coat but since I have resin at my disposal about anytime of the day (work in fiberglass/carbon manufacturing) its exactly the same thing, the resin and clear coat have no difference in color or texture once cured and sanded, we do this all the time. 😸

I'm just a hobbyist and would use resin myself. Resin can just be a pain if you've never worked with it before.

I don't think it has much to do with the hood being CF. With the level of stupidity someone has to posses to do something like that, they might have not known what it is - especially if it was dark. If someone has the mindset where they're willing to key a car, I don't think they look into the details of it too much, and just see a nice car, and they want to fuck it up.

Typically the hood is an ideal choice as it's a flat, level surface, it's incredibly obvious, and unavoidable to not see it - usually right away as you approach your car.
