My Ride: Amethest Grey 530i--AC Schnitzer Kit all the way around--Quad Magna Flow Exhaust--20" MMR wheel 4.5 inch lip--

So I started to park my car in a garage given to me by my apartment building anyways there was a leak and water and whatever was in the wood left residue on the hood barely noticeable but noticeable.

Would those touch up spray cans work.

Absolutely not unless you want car to look like hell. Try the detail section of this forum, or any forum. A great detail person can work miracles.

If it looks superficial...try a clay bar or some rubbing compound....if that doesn't work, +1 for a good/skilled detail...
