Default Help needed to identify cause of paint damage

Hi,

Hope this post is suitable for this section.

I could use some advice regarding paint damage to my 370z.

I woke up on Sat morning to find my car with a strip on light yellow/white residue over the roof, down the back window and on the edge of the rear spoiler. I initially assumed a bird had targeted the car (albeit in a pretty extreme manner!) and went direct to the car wash to clean it up.

The guy at the car wash pointed out damage to the spoiler, it appears to have melted (photo attached) where the substance contacted it. I had great difficulty removing it from the paintwork.. But other than some subtle discolouration there is no lasting damage.

My feeling now is that someone has thrown brake fluid on the car. I can't imagine a bird could possibly do this damage. You can see the plastic on the spoiler has melted.

The car was secure in my back yard behind a 7 foot fence so I find it hard to believe that it's vandalism. It would require someone very committed to get at the car. Does anyone recognise this damage?

Inevitably it'll need the spoiler resprayed which is a pain but Id like to know how this has happened...

Advice appreciated.
