I will post pictures tonight, but something like tar or something industrial grade, glopped on my hood and my hatch. I didn't notice it at first but when I did it was hard as hell to take off.

I used some polishing compound to take most of it off, but now when I run my hand over the spot where it was at (about the size of a quarter), I can feel a slight depression and the paint is slightly stained now in color.

From my rubbing, I caused pretty good swirl marks on the hood on the area surrounding the glop. Those I figure I can buff out, but what about the rest of the glop affected areas?

I have no idea what the substance was, but when it came off, it was this horrid brownish black color. I'm pretty certain it came from me driving on Lower Wacker here in Chicago (its an underground version of a major street in the city, like driving through a parking garage at 50mph)

I really want to pay hundreds (possibly thousands) getting it repainted.

I used Turtle Wax Polishing compound to get the majority of it off.

What should I do?

i got egg on my car on the hatch it ate thew the paint and i cant get it off and im not gonna pay 2 get it repainted untill my turbo build is done lol bu good luck.. u try to claybar it?

I have not yet tried to clay bar it, I have a mothers claybar kit so I could try that. I just am worried because I can feel an indentation in the surface as I run my finger over the part that wasn't goo'ed to the part that was.

I can try the claybar once I get done with work.

if the clay doesnt remove it you can wet sand it w/ 1000 grit and polish with a high speed buffer.

Clay bar.

won't that mess it up even more? like remove paint, etc? I've never wetsanded anything, but not sure how that would save me.

Wet sanding with very fine grit shouldn't mess with the paint. It might make it feel a little more even (you mentioned the indentation). Then buffing it out should polish the finish back to a shine

If its ur 1st time wet sanding use 1500 or 2000 grit then use a polisher an 3m compund 2 bring the shine

djspectre

Yeah it'll be my first time sanding, I figured that would remove the clear coat though. I'll have to get the 3m compound....what type should I use?

just the rubbing compound. also only sand till the shine is gone

to wet sand get a bowl with Dawn dish soap and water and some 2000grit,sand lightly with the water mix in one direction,rinse and then sand a little more,just sand like 15 seconds at a time.

then 3m or another rubbing compound,then polish or glazing compounds and then rewax.

It might of been hot tar,this time of year they retar the cracks in the asphalt and it gets everywhere and sometimes in big splats.It can burn the clear coat pretty good.

I really appreciate the advice on how to wet sand. I'll do it on the hatch area first since its more or less under my spoiler and you can't see it without being shown it....in case I screw up.

Then I'll attempt the hood if the hatch goes well.

I won't time time to attempt this for at least another week since I work so much this week and have a wedding next.

I'll make sure I post the results of it here.
