Cone mark removal tool!

fastguy9r · 08-11-2013, 09:20 PM

Went to an auto-x today! Not to toot my own horn but I was the fastest raw time and the fastest pax time of the day out of 80 drivers! But back to the cone mark removal tool. On the third run I got sideways and hit a cone pretty hard on the right front bumper. The whole front end of my car has a clear bra on it. I had a 18 inch tall very dark mark on the right front bumper. Usually you can remove cone marks on paint with 3M remover or a good wax but a clear bra is different. So here it is ! A wet Magic Eraser is really magic! It took the mark off with no damage to the clear bra and I can not even see where the big mark was. I have tries lots of products to remove marks on the clear bra and either they remove the mark, but mess up the clear bra or don't mess up the clear bra and don't remove the mark. Hope this helps a lot of you auto-x or road race guys! Ken

Be careful with the magic eraser. It made a bad spot much worse on my clear bra. Granted, I took a chunk of tire at freeway speeds and the clear bra was toast anyway. Just be gentle. It can easily make a minor rub mark into a much bigger one.

No clear bra so when I smack a cone I know I'm going to spend some time rubbing one out with clay...lol
