help! burned paint need repair! cut through clear coat

If this is any consolation, I believe you may of uncovered a problem with your paint. Did you possibly uncover orange peel? Can’t really see much in the photos.

what do you guys think??
 
Well his paint has orange peel on the left side of the picture but the problem at hand is something else. I would recommend using Megs Color X or Scratch X. I've taken out haze like I see in your car on my car (caused by a really harsh compound on my car) with Color X from Meguiars. It is only $10 US per bottle (a lot cheaper than the deatiler or the painter) so you don't have that much to lose.
 
You may want to try 3M finish restorer, which can be bought at Wal-Mart. I can't really tell you by looking at those pics. I was using SSR-3 by hand and it dulled the spot I was rubbing, wax couldn't bring back the shine, but the 3M finish restorer did. I hope this helps.
 
You're kidding right? You went through the paint by hand? That's almost impossible. How long were you rubbing on that same spot? Are you sure it's not just super dull? You'll need a PC/Rotary to buff those out. Hopefully, it's just dull from your scrubbing.

IF YOU STILL CAN'T FIX IT THEN TAKE IT IN TO A DETAILER OR POSSIBLY A BODYSHOP BEFORE YOU MAKE IT EVEN WORSE...



I had a scratch that went through the clear by my driver's door on my new 2006 Honda Accord 6spd coupe...my dad tried rubbing compound (by hand like you), and scuffed my clearcoat around it to hell. I'm actually glad I was watching so carefully...as I stopped him before he did any more (he was going to attempt another pass).



I did take mine to a Honda bodyshop and they quoted me $50 CDN to have the scuffing removed (not the scratch)...ended up speaking to my uncle (detailer..does a lot of classics and rare muscle cars) and he was able to take it out with a less aggressive rubbing compound and a PC in about 5 mins. Sure I could have probably taken care of it myself if I had the right tools but I didn't, plus I wanted someone to fix it before it got worse.



Anyhow, long story short...take it to somebody and don't touch it anymore..safest thing you can do really...
