Default Someone drew on my hood!

So during thanksgiving break some family members came over for a few days. The s2000 is outside under a car port all dusty from sitting for 2 months (taken apart doing a full cleanup and installing a supercharger). When I head to work everything was fine but when I come back I see someone drew a huge heart on the hood!!!!! No one of coarse stood up to say who it was. So I washed it and now I'm noticing a hologram of it still!!!! I'm really hoping this won't be something I'll have to deal and live with forever on my car.

Is their anything I can use to remove this? Any swirl remover products or maybe just a pass with a clay bar?

What was it drawn with?
Lipstick?
Crayon?
Marker?
Spray paint?

That would def help answer your question.
If you got the heart off and it left marring or a hologram, polishing with a mid to aggressive polish and mid to heavy cut pad should get rid of it.

If you don't have a da, you might want to invest in one.

Sounds like they drew with their finger in the dust. I've got the same type of marks on my car from a cat being trapped in my garage. I've tried everything, ad can't get them out. Not even with a DA machine.

Compound then polish...or any auto spa/detailer can easily do it.

at most a fine polish should be able to fix that.

Claybar won't do anything. Clay bar simply removes residue that's stuck to your paint. I would clay bar, then follow it up with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, Polish, then wax. I say meguiars because it's the easiest product to manage.

m205 should be sufficient.

If clay bar won't do anything then why did you just say you would clay bar it?
Compound and polish will do the job for sure, any update on your hood?
