We use a squirt bottle to teach our cats that things are bad. They don't learn from just a scare, there needs to be something in the process that they can't stand/that they would never want to happen. Scaring is to them a fluke and they don't put the two and two together.
But, get a hose and coax the cat onto the hood, then turn the hose on and spray the damn thing down. Cats absolutely HATE water that is not on their terms...you have to make sure you do it 3-4 times straight without there being a time when they get away with it (or again, they will think it was a fluke they got wet). It would be mean...but you could also catch the cat, put on a colar and leash, place it on your hood, water it down...rope in the cat, place it on your hood, water it down...and go like that. 2-3 times of that and the cat will claw the hell out of you when you walk near the car, but that is what you want
