Hi All,

As I was going around wiping down my 8, I realized an interesting black mark on the driver side. It's not really visible unless you know where to look. The thing is, it's not really a scratch or a ding or a paint peeling or anything (sure hope not, I just got it 1 month ago!!) because the surface of the mark is as smooth as the rest of the car. What it does look like is someone took a permanent marker and drew some random pattern. Any ideas on what it might be and how I might be able to remove it?

Thanks!!

 

This thread is completely useless without pictures.

It might be from debris hitting your car while driving. Try clay barring it first.

 

^ Kinda what he said. Might have been some tire rubber that was grazed your car while you were driving on the highway...


PICS MAKE THIS EASIER

 

Sorry about the lack of pictures. Anyway, I took some pictures of the mark today. It was not easy because the surface is pretty reflective. I hope it is clear. Again, the surface of the mark is smooth, so I don't think it's a scratch.

 

As some have said...............it could just be rubber that kicked up and hit you. Have to tried to remove it with just a wet finger? Try that and if no good, you can try jus some wax or rubbing compound actually. Be very gentle though until you see what will take it off.
