    OK few weeks ago I went outside and notice 2 scratches on the hood of my Prius C. They are near the hood ordainment Any idea were they could come from? I would like to fix them, with out having to repaint the car. They may just buff out. I tired one of those paint pens on a car before and I had a bad result. It will have to wait until Spring. I am in the Midwest about 1/2 SW of Chicago, IL and there is nothing but snow.

    That was my first thought, especially if they are parallel lines.

    Cats. Like to sit on warm hood. There all over the neighborhood. But it took care of the rat problem.

    Use a car cover. $29 on eBay.
