Damaged Paint - Unknown Cause?

[RBNRG]

Ok guys, gals and others. Noticed yesterday my paint has the distinct appearance of f@ked. Only parked outside one night [wish i hadnt] and rained the next day to wash anything off. Still seems to have clear coat. Does anyone know what can cause this? Do i have an angry neighbour maybe..

Have washed and polished spots. yet to use a cut. so far not a hint of change.

looks like it's been splashed with a chlorinated solvent, DCM in paint stripper maybe

Splatter markings seem to indicate that the solution came from directly above (- and not from the side)

Was there a unit balcony above the car?

Ah i had this happen to my car aswell, not only did they manage to get the roof, but a bit on the bonnet and boot aswell. We tried washing it and scrubing it a number of times but it never came off. It appeared on the roof when I went to get my new clutch installed..dunno if that helps you at all. To fix it however, i had to respray the roof and bonnet.

There are some real low life pricks out there, prob's damaged it out of jealousy cause they can't afford a nice import

Yeah thats what it looks like however it was park in open air. My theory is maybe the light shower we had here pooled the chemicals. Just way to many spots to be from an animal. Had a car cover on it in the same spot for a few nights now and not a single mark.

I was however parked in an underground carpark the day before. But that said there was nothing down the sides or anywhere else. not to mention it appeared suddenly. Owell all i can do is fix and hope the aholes choke on their next meal. [preferably undercooked too ]

^ ^ ^ If it's chlorine from the adjacent pool, or it's thrown around willy-nilly, perhaps this can help.

Sodium Thiosulfate (aka Sodium Thiosulphate) http://www.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-bleach-stains.htm

However, if the chlorine has already eaten the paint, and you don't want to or can't afford to repaint the panel/roof, get some Red "T-Cut" Polish from K-Mart or Automotive store and you might notice how the colour blends back.

LOL nothing sinister from my teenage years, I was a paint/coatings chemist for 8 years so have seen lots of different types of surface damage here and there
