    What are you looking at here?

    Hey all, I’d like some options on what you think this is and what could’ve possibly caused it?

    It’s from the hood of a 2016 Cadillac Escalade OEM paint.







    I want all opinions. TIA.

    Mark from very acidic bird crap
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    Was it ever repainted, Ric?

    *EDIT* Missed the OEM paint part.

    Yeah, horrible bird bomb or a chemical drop (spot)?
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    First pic looks like bird bomb left on for like a month. Don’t know what I’m looking for in second.

    2nd pic looks like some oxidation along the trim. 1st pic, yeah, one heck of a bird bomb I'd guess. Wow. And some serious water spotting as well...

    Like the others,

    acidic bird dropping etching

    and being that your in SoCal - full sun environment - panel affected is not only a horizontal panel but also gets all the engine heat.

    Beginning clearcoat failure
