has bird poo done this to my roof?

Get a smart repair on the clearcoat and some blender (it's a like a thin clearcoat that smells of marzipan) to bind the feathered edges. Ask at your car brand's dealership who they use for trade-ins or their own 'accidents' on customers cars.
 
Thanks everyone

It's not going to have a full respray. Not worth it. I know I won't keep the car for years and years.

Going to do what I can with chipex, and if it looks arse I'll wrap it.

An option is to wrap the roof. Will look good, won't cost much and will protect further future damage

Wraps sometimes accentuate paint damage. Though you have more experience with wraps than I :p

I'd never use the dealerships recommendation, they're usually the lowest bidder.
 
Its a reality of living near the sea for me, I look my car over every time I get out of it and have stuff in the boot to remove poop if its occurs. My wifes corsa roof has two patches of etching due to the same.

I hate seagulls! Round here they just sit on your car roof like they own it.
 
My roof has similar damage. Plus some massive chunks of paint missing due to stones.
Wrapped it with some thick sparkle black wrap from a car show... Worked well, can't see anything damage wise.
 
The composition of paints, both on vehicles and elsewhere, has been compromised to meet the green agenda.

Like most environmentally friendly upgrades, the final product simply doesn't work as well as the traditional products that they replace.

Nail, head.

The waterbourne basecoats and ultra high solid clearcoats we are using in the refinish industry these days are no doubt helping the planet with massively reduced VOC emissions, but boy are they much harder to work with, ridiculously expensive, and seemingly not at robust as products were back in the day.
