SOS....
I got a distress called from my neighbour that his colleague car has splashes of acid causing the white spot on the paint surface
WATCH out for these guys..(M'sia A/C usually fitted on top )
..picure for illustration used only
I should not have meet up with him at night & as many thing wouldnlt shown up under street lamp & bad finding. Deatiling appoinment set for !st Jan makr a begining of a new day for a new year
I got a shock to find out what actually happen under day light when i saw the car, the acid splatted actually corroded the car paint.. will elllaborate more
here are some of the pics of the Spotted leopard -
some paint defect pic discovered along the way (pics Before)
paint chiped

left side rear bumper ...evidence of chewing gum stick till the rear
rear bumper scratches
some scratches before corrections
More evidence of the spots
