Can this spot be repaired on my CF roof?

I have this small, light damage to my carbon fiber roof. There's no texture to it if I run my finger across it, I can't feel anything so I think it looks like it's just the clear coat eh? Could this be easily repaired now before it gets worse? Cheaply?

Acidic damage from bird droppings.

You can try to hit it with light polish to level it a bit. Make sure to wax/seal afterwards.

You can take it to a detailing shop and maybe they can buff it out for cheap. If not they may have to re-clear the whole roof

Buy a Harbor Freight polisher, get a pad from Chemical Guys on Amazon, get some Meguiars polish to cut it a little bit.

Watch an AMMO NYC video so you do not damage your car.

All can be had for sub-$50 before you pay someone hundreds to fix a spot. And you can learn a skill to keep your baby clean.

a really good rule of thumb in detailing is ALWAYS start with the least abrasive method and move up.

he does not need to go straight to polishing just yet. start with a simple clay and go from there. if that doesn't work you don't need to go straight to getting a dual action (da) polisher. get some one step polish from meguiars or somethign cheap and test that out as well. report back so we can better help guide you after you've taken some initial steps.
