The roof is most effected, though there is some on the boot lid and bonnet.
Difficult to get a good photo, as it just looks like reflections of the clouds, though very noticeable in some lights.
I have a vague recollection of a discussion of this on a Skoda forum years ago, where the owner was advised to Do Nothing, specifically not to attempt to polish out or cover with any products.
The idea was that the bloom effect was created by water absorbed into the clear coat, and letting the surface breathe, ideally but not necessarily indoors, would allow the difference in absorbed water to equalise and the patches would disappear.
The argument seemed convincing at the time, and I also seem to recall the OP posting back a year or so later, reporting success - at least to the point that he was just about able to see where the edges of the worst patches were but only because he knew where to look.
So, the question is, how does VAG factory paint compare to Japanese, of this era (around 2006), and do we think the same approach might work?
I've seen YT vids etc of people cutting back the clear coat with production paper or coarse compounds, and blowing over with a new layer, only sometimes to have the marks reappear later.
In this case I thinks the owner would definitely opt for the Do Nothing approach, if there was any chance it might work.
Thoughts anyone?
Have any of you had these patches sort themselves out, or take measures to remove them?
What did it involve?
Did it work?
