So I had this nightmare situation a few weeks ago where I parked my Cayenne under a tree for literally one afternoon and came back to find a massive bird dropping that had baked onto the hood in the sun, and when I tried to wash it off, it had actually etched into the clear coat and left this ugly mark that I couldn't polish out myself no matter what I tried. I was honestly devastated because the car was in such good condition before that, and I'd been planning to get a proper detail done anyway but this just forced my hand a bit earlier than I'd planned. I spent ages researching different places around Abu Dhabi and kept seeing this one workshop mentioned in a few of the car groups I'm in, so I figured I'd check them out and see what they could do. They ended up doing a full paint correction on the hood and then applied a ceramic coating to the whole car to protect it from future bird bombs and the harsh sun, and honestly the result is incredible, the paint is deeper and glossier than when I first bought the car. If anyone else has had a similar clear coat etching issue and is looking for a place that actually knows how to fix it properly without just covering it up, I'd definitely recommend looking into exoticcarcare.ae/ because they clearly know what they're doing with these cars. The peace of mind knowing the paint is properly protected now is worth every dirham, and I'll never leave my car under a tree again without a cover, lesson definitely learned the hard way.
