Dear Christina, No Worries. Scratch-B-Gone listed above will remove the chemical discoloration due to the acid splash. Use acetone ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] Warning! highly Flammable! or perhaps rubbing alcohol to remove waxes first to exposed clean surface. Remember to think Scratch-B-Gone for your scratches and for heat scorching on your BBQ too! All the best.
