Paint Blemishes

I have a near perfect 88 GTA and I'm very **** about detailing it. I have little scuffs from hitting bugs on the front end of my car and I'm wondering if there are any tricks to getting them out. Also any tips for detailing the engine compartment would be helpful too. Thanks for your time.

For the bug marks, try some rubbing compound. If they were left on too long, the acid could have penetrated the clear coat and damaged the underlying finish. Always get the bugs and bird crap off soon after they appear.
