Profound thoughts. Why I never knew this.

It looks like this is sitting on top but could be that the clear was melted with a cigarette or something. I am going to take to a paint shop before messing with or trying to sand out myself. Too small of a spot and too risky to try to do well.

Thanks

Why don't you read the thread before making such dumb comments?

LOL, aren't you due for your 25k mile oil change? Or maybe you can notice more obvious body damage to your car months after purchase and blame the dealer...

If its sitting above the rest of the clear then its probably not a burn and theres a good chance a body guy can get it off. And yeah, if you aren't experienced with paint work do not take sandpaper to your car...

BiPolar kennykeyboard! Brilliantly advises not to use sandpaper on the car's finish! WTF are you smoking that would make you sand your car's finish!?
