I run Hawks on my e36 racecar. And that gets cleaned immediately after a race or a trackday for exactly that reason. To get that stuff off is going to be one tough cookie!

The team that maintains my car explained it to me, as follows: These metal particles are extremely hot, when they land on bits of the car and they can actually melt into the clearcoat. If that happens... and you do not take care of it immediately, then there is simply no way besides scrubbing / sanding and repainting.

My e36 is a racecar... I honestly don't care if it has a few scratches. But I would never run Hawks on any car that isn't "track only".
