Has anyone checked with a paint shop to see if a clearcoat can be added......

I'll let you guys know what I find out about having the entire front end and hood done up with the good stuff by a paint shop.

There is still some clear there and I'll give it a thick coat of wax. The scratch wasn't bad. Yes these products create many fine scratches to make the larger scratch fade disappear. You should see the underside of my front bumper. There is no saving that.
