Damn Cones... Removing Cone Rash?
I did a search and couldn't find what i was looking for. I have been hearing different things but wanted some other Cobalt owners input on the best method to remove the black residue from the bumper and sides. Damn cones need to be made from feathers and pixie dust....

Sounds good to me, you're just talking about some scuffs right? Make sure you don't get some serious cutting compounds cause it's just minor scuffs from the sound. Also use a microfiber cloth!!!

Jesus, don't use a magic eraser. Too abrasive! It's just a cone mark. Most of them come off with a little elbow grease and a clean micro fiber towel. Maybe add a little quick detailer. Only a really bad one would require a polish. If the stuff even says the word compound on the jar, it is the wrong product for the car!

I remove them with a soap and sponge. They rub right out.
I've given up in the past few years though. Mechanical reliability has surpassed looks in the past few years. My rockers are almost all black haha

Nothing beats a little gas. Put some gas on a rag and it will come right off. If it is really burned on rub and it will come off. I have tried everything and have found nothing that works better than just plain gas. Learned it from a guy that has been autoxing for 37 years.

You should not be that close to other peoples tires!!!
If they get that close to you, you can use gas to burn another car!!!
Also your lights will stay in if you STAY OFF the curbing. Do I need to come out there and show you how it's done? Don't make me have to put a whooping on your east coast boys!!!

See thats one of the benefits of autoxing, we learn how to stay away from little things like that. You road guys just take up the whole road. Road HOG!!!
I used to road race open superbike, and do you know what happens to a race bike if you hit the curbing in a corner leaned over? I avoid them like the plague.
