Hi everyone, been a while since I have posted. I need some help and serious guidence on repairing my hood on my 312-8 tractor. I had a tarp over it because I was working at my Mom's house and she has no place to park the tractor out of the elements. Well, lately here in CT, we have been getting rain (heavy at times) followed by sun and extreme humidity for 2 weeks straight. I have grabbed my tractor and it now sits in my garage, but when I pulled the tarp off, I have these large white areas just on the hood. I tried buffing a small area with a scratch removal compound for cars. Stuff you use on door dings and slight key scratches that have not gone thru the paint but it did not work. I am assuming this is really bad oxidation. Am I wrong? How can I fix this? No, the tarp did not melt on the hood. THere is no plastic stuck to the hood. Here are 2 pictures I took this morning. The white looks like a refection, but it is not. You should see solid red. Thank you - Robert
