Hi all

This has happened to my paintwork, any ideas if T-Cut will get it out? Thanks

Looking at picture looks like lacquer fading who ever painted previous used a basic lacquer
It would polish up and last for awhile initially but eventually a re paint and 2k lacquer would prevent that happening again
If the lacquer is actually peeling it’s now time to paint to correct
Hope this helps you a little

Looks like a residue to me rather than sun damage because of the dripping and streaking. If so it might polish out, That said, just after I'd had the bonnet resprayed last year because of bleaching, a bird did the biggest, blackest dump you've ever seen and I didn't notice it till it was too late. It burnt right into the lacquer so I had to have it resprayed all over again. Life's a bummer sometimes.

Thanks all. I used some Meguiers Ultimate Compound and it helped but yes I think a bumper respray is in order!

Looks like something like VIM or CIF cleaner has run out from the channel round the hatchback and down over the 'bumper'.
