so, when I was cleaning my car this weekend, I saw the tell tale sign of the paint getting discolored/burnt from the exhaust tip.

a little elbow grease and 3m Body Repair/Finish Restorer (available at Kragen near the paint/bodywork stuff) took care of it. Followed it up with some polish to hopefully protect it a little better.

the 3m stuff might also be carried under the name 3m rubbing compound for clear coats. (fine grade)

disclaimer: be careful with this stuff. if you aren't careful you can take off your clear coat or make it really dull. always follow it up with some polish/wax cause otherwise your paint will be fully exposed to all elements.

talking with jeremy @ invisiguard to see if the clear bra material could withstand the heat and take the beating instead of the paint. (i know there are those carbon fiber covers but they just look way out of place)
