With all due respect then I suggest you pay to have it corrected at a body shop of your choice to your full satisfaction. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Sounds like bird crap not cleaned off quick enough.

I know sometimes darker colours get that swirly/bubbly effect in the lacquer after bird poo has been left to bake in the sun- that happened to my old black Audi A3 (black being ridiculously hot in the sun!)

Sounds like something acidic has eaten through the lacquer,

Either that, or the previous owner perhaps didn't spend a lot of time cleaning the roof and so this is the result of neglect.

I'd have a look at Chipsaway - I know they have had a mixed press on here but Gordon from Cambridge recently did a good job for me, and a lot cheaper than bodyshop. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

My first thought was actually 'ChipsAway'.

chipsaway may be able to patch the paint rather than do the whole roof. They will also come to your premises. In my case, the bodyshops would have removed a lot of trim and shaded the respray into surrounding paint, but Gordon was able simply to respray the door, which was much cheaper, and the match is perfect. It does depend on colour etc, but the roof is not very visible anyway. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

I would attempt it myself, but i can look directly onto the roof from my upstairs window and it'd annoy me if I did a bad job.
