Default Black marks on my front spoiler from autocrossing- how to remove?
After hitting several cones at recent autocrosses, I have the wounds to show for it. They are black marks- I dont know if they are rubber from the cones, or if my paint was rubbed off and that is the color underneath. How do I remove the marks?

Try some WD-40 first, but Claybar will probably work.

Maybe some good old Meguiars Cleaner wax.
Or clay bar as someone suggested.

It's cone marks. Rub it off with clay bar, and you'll see that it's actually orange.

It won't hurt anything Dan. You definitely want to wax that spot well when you're all done though.

Zaino Z-1 takes off scuff marks really well.

I was going to get a clay bar sometime anyway. Maybe this is a good time to try it.
