Guys I am just very upset right now. Someone vandalized my 1 year old 2013 RAV4. It seems like some kinda acidic was thrown on the driver side rear passenger windows, door panel, gas door and also on the rear wheel and stained these body parts.
At first, I thought that the stains came from parking under a tree where I park but after washing the car, they would not come off. I applied DP high performance glass restorer with a sponge but it could not remove any of it. For the body, I used Megs D151 with a mf but that did not help. As for the rear wheel, the stains were on the lug nuts as you can see in the pic.
My first option was to I was to try and buy a Griots 6" and using Ceriglass for the windows and then clay and polish the door panels but I'm afraid that I cannot get this done since the drip marks that the acid have made is either coming from the bottom rubber moulding, door's side moulding and gas door using the DA polisher.
Second option is of course let my insurance take car of it and you all know how that goes.
Any advice and also which parts that I can use to fix these problems would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
