I was burning a cone incense and left it on the sink, and this stain won’t come off. I tried baking soda, water, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide. I tried letting them sit for multiple interations, and it made no difference.
If nothing else works, maybe make the best out of it, grab a lighter (or soldering iron) and just burn a cool pattern on it?
Actually, that’s a great idea. I’m going to draw some penises instead.
Mr Clean magic eraser with some isopropyl alcohol, give it a scrub?
I’d be tempted to try sandpaper, and find some matching acrylic paint to reseal it.
I would likely try the methods of car headlight repair:
However, since I see that the sink has a glossy surface… I would be deterred by that. The method I mention may reach a layer which isn’t burnt, but may wear off glossy finish.
What paint to use - sorry, no idea.
Try rubbing with mild abrasive such as toothpaste - it'll take a while if it's going to work though and you might be left with a dull spot.

First you need to determine what the sink is actually made out of.

How can I find out?

Most people can tell by touch. Knock on it and you’ll feel and hear if its porcelain or enameled steel/iron like most are. If its dead sounding, like knocking on a coffee cup its porcelaine, if it rings a bit, enameled steel.
As long as its one of those two, you can try scrubbing 000 or 0000 steel wool. If its soft plastic, don’t as you’ll scratch it.
