Odd Paint Damage
After a week of my car in a municipal garage i noticed defect in on my paint. It felt greasy to the touch and after washing it off the paint looks to be permanently damaged. You can see it also stained the wheel arches.

Let’s put it this way... if a customer pulled into my bodyshop and I had to spend 10-15 minutes wetsanding and buffing a spot like that, I wouldn’t charge them.
And I most certainly wouldn’t have charged a fellow mini owner.
Point is, if the shop is cool about it, he may charge you 20 bucks top. Do yourself one favor, take it to an independent shop, not a “pro” shop for an insurance company... they’re not more than a production shop who won’t give a crap.

Have you let the lot know of the damage?
I had a similar issue, where they were doing construction on one of the levels, and the guys spraying it out didn't sufficiently mask off the levels. . .I had tiny bits of over spray on the bonnet, and roof. . .the company ended up footing the bill.

Good luck though, I hope it is all a simple matter of someones elbow grease, and a lot of microfiber towels.

I've done this before also and had worked out well. Or sometimes spraying black paint on a lint free wrag and light rubbing it on works great on slightly rough plastic.
