nasty. makes you hopefully glad you keep the protection via polish and wax up. Should sue the &*$%stards who probably lit those fires.
I occasionally get similar from cane burnoffs. Can be a hassle to get off. |

Found great way to clean guys, leave car dry and and get a bucket of car wash and then get a can of degreaser spray a bit then wash that bit and then wash it off with hose(P.S only do small sections at a time otherwise it will dry)then spray the car all again then give it a normal wash then hit it with a cut polish...I made the bosses car look new and it was filthy....
Might need about 3-4 cans I used 2 on a hilux single cab ute.... And how come the three hunter valley guys All own EA's?

Try using metho (or Isopropyl alcohol), rather than degreaser or kero.
Alot safer for the paint
