So I walk out and some mother****er took his cigar and extinguished it on my Ivory Pearl Hood!!! WTF these bitches need to DIAFF!!!! I have a 1/2 inch diameter brownish yellow burn mark on my otherwise pristine hood.

I need help. What can I do? Goo gone? Wax? Polish? Touch up paint? To the best of my knowledge it is burnt paint? I need you guys advice please.



you guys

 

that sucks. if the paint has been burned down past the clear, i'm sorry to say that the only way to fix it is to paint it.

 

thats fvcked up...depending on how messed up it is goo gone with a wash and wax may help it..gl with it

 

Take pictures for us to look at it to see how deep is the damage...WTF is wrong with people these days...Sorry to hear that man...

 

wtf? why the hell would somebody do that? Stupid fvcking people!!

 

So many damn haters out there!! Sorry to hear that bro. Definitely try some wax and possible some Scratch X (I know it's not a scratch but it might work) and use an orbital polisher to try to get it out. If that doesn't work then you are probably gonna have to repaint it.

 

I tried some goo gone and some general carnuba wax my friend game me this morning. It didn't come out. I'll take a picture today and try to post it for you all to see.

 

did he do it right in front of you? howd you know it was a cigar?

 

^^^Probably because of the size of it...I don't think he did it in front of him...I think there would have be a fight if he did...

 

You could try a clay bar as well. It's designed to take crap out of the paint. Although, I don't really think it will help a burn, but it couldn't hurt to try.

 

I walked out and saw a cigar butt on the hood as I was getting in. After flicking it off I saw the burn mark on my hood. I didn't see who did it and yes I would have kicked his ***.

I went to pep boys and used some meguiars scratch X. It did reduce the brownish/yellow mark to a degree but not completely gone. I will have to live with it as it's pretty acceptable now after 10 applications of scratch X. The best description of it now is if some bird **** on your car, cleaned up, but can't clean up the yellow residue.

I will try the clay bar and buffing the hell out of it. I took some pics (pretty bad though). I'll try to put it up sometime today just for the curious ppl to see what I'm talking about.

Thanks for all the help so far.

that looks like it will polish off.

oops I didnt read...

If scratch-x wont get it off, try using something more aggressive like DACP.

Do you have a ro polisher?

where are you located? If you are nearby I can help you out.

 

Take it to a professional detailer bro. Have them take a shot at it with a polisher. I bet that will help a lot.

 

Carnuba is just wax so = nothing. Stratch X is a very, very mild polish so I'm not surprised it didn't to much.

If you really don't know what to do, ask a detailer. It won't cost that much and you will avoid doing something that will make it worse.

I am in the San Fernando Valley. Any recommended detailers you guys have for me?
