Warning: Do not open hood with Winshield wipers up!!
After owning the 8 for over a month I felt like washing it. ( I live in So Cal and those ashes took their toll.) Had the wipers up and felt like, hey let's wipe the water off of the engine compartment.
I lifted and wack!!:eek: Now I have put two very nice beauty marks on the back edge of my hood. A mental mistake on my part and a warning to all others.
BTW, what's the best way to get it back in shape? These are the first dings on this awesome pice of machine.

did the same thing, caught myself just as they touched so nothing major or noticeable.........a big fat DUH to me!
I did the exact same thing last time I washed... sucks. Now I have a pretty noticeable chip on the hood edge. The worst part is that it stares me in the face everytime I drive :(
I guess I'll be trying out the free touch-up paint soon.

I feel for your pain.
I made the same mistake when I bought my P5. The edge is very difficult to touch up. I finally gave up after hours of touching up and sanding.

I did the same thing - and didn't know it really chipped the paint until I went to drive it......and as you said, it stares you in the face. I came home tonight and ordered the touch-up paint and the lanka.com products. Tomorrow I am going to have 'stupid' tattooed to my forehead.
