But dude, your car is so sick as is man. Leave it alone, and use your “need to change things” mentality on my kitchen countertops by making them CF. MPD wants it and so do I!

it will still show scuffing. the first time you slide a ceramic plate across it you will be buffing it out.  
edit: i take this back… thats the same shit they use on bars tops. that should work perfectly.

but if you do it, it will still be hot even if it does scuff…  
now that i think about it, i have a couple yards left, and a bar/counter in the basement i need to refinish. i owe you a quarter for the idea.
