bastards! Can anything be done to save this or is it just gone :(
 
Only possible solution is to put it in a drill press and spin/sand it until all the burnt crap is gone, then polish it with gradually finer sandpaper.

I figured it was gone...so, i decided to goof around for a few minutes with it and see what could be done.

The burning caused the ball to bubble under the scar and thus pitted...its pretty much beyond saving because the bubbles are too deep.

otherwise it cleaned up pretty good for just about 4 or 5 min of work...I learned a little so that's worth something I guess.

After pic...i could have done a better job here, but once i saw how bad it was pitted i didn't bother.

This damage happened in your home?

no...it was on the time pilot/challenger cab that I bought a couple of weeks ago...just now getting around to fixing it up before my new CPO gets here in the next couple of days.
