i'm no expert so i can only tell ya what i "feel" is going to happen if i try to "remove" something like that....i feel it's a small area of clear coat failure....looks almost like bad schelaque(?)...i've hit my areas with a mild polish/cleanser and it didn't do anything...i have something more abrasive but i think if i used that i would essentially remove to cracked pieces and leave a clear coat crater...then just to TEST on a small crater, and if i had a clear coat pen, i would fill that in....i would try to deal with it like touch up i guess....maybe wetsand....polish....i'm guessing here....like i said i'm no expert....i would try this but i got access to nothing....

T T .....good luck and if you figure out a method let me know!!!!!
 
I had that exact same mark on an 84 Accord. The car was so old, I figured the heck with it and slapped wax/polish right over top of it. The car was so old I got props for making it shine regardless of a spot like that.

It's hard to say what that is... more information would be helpful, like what it feels like, how it came about, what you've tried, etc, etc...



It helps to volunteer information so that people have something to work with. :up
