Interesting.

That must've been some serious heat. Curious that the license plate looks covered in melted plastic too; I understand the plastic bumpers melting but I don't think there's plastic in the license plate area.

It'll buff right out....let this be a lesson to all: buff in a circular motion! Only a proper buff will fix that terrible buff job.

Thanks for sharing OP

Probably the bits under the trunk lip (where you grab to open it).
