Yeah, i know. Why the heck would I want to do that?! Ive got a test hood with a modern paint scheme that Id like to try something out on. I want to get a realistic amount of marring so I can try to correct by trying a few new methods. I dont wanna go high speed on mine or anyone elses car.
how to quickly induce marring?

2K - 3K sandpaper should do the trick, or throw a MF towel on the ground and rub away on your hood.

Get a THICK bath towel and rub it on the hood as if u were tying to dry the paint. This should do the trick.

lol..j/k. Just get a old mit and wash your tires and wheel wells and then wash the paint with it.

Just go to the local spray wash and wait till the guy thats been mudding it washes his truck then use the brush on the hood.

A dry sheepskin mit will put very light marring in paint. A bath towel, too. Slather compound on anything and rub it on the paint. Throw some fine sand on the hood and then brush it off with a wet towel. A dry paper towel.
Be creative, do something that you see others doing that makes you go

LOL- this is better than my THICK bath towel drying suggestion.
Its sad how so many shops claim that they do professional work & then u see pics on here from some body shops and it makes me wonder.
LMAO!!!
Actually, the paint and body work might be excellent. But, sadly or fortunately
for some, the "buffing" isn't major consideration for a vast number of shops.
Time is money and to spend just about any amount of time on this stage
isn't profitable. Customers expect perfect gun finishes like from the factory.
But shop environments aren't exactly sterile...
Fast paced shops, no matter how hard they try to keep clean, will get
some amount of trash in the paint. Even those with expensive, state of the art
facilities, will get trash that needs to be buffed out. They need to crank out
cars to pay for all that training and equipment... they're used to working
fast and it's this mindset that's part of the problem with sanding and buffing.
Another forum, really...
