This is similar to what happens when a bird craps on the hood of a black car in the sun. The paint under the bird crap is hidden from the sun is cooler than the paint surrounding it and it creates a bird crap "etching" outline. It's not the acids doing the damage. It's the temperature differences on the paint causing the damage.

well if there's ripple (A) damn that's some serious track temps (B) it still may be limited to the clear coat. in other words if you grind down the clear coat for the whole area (both covered and uncovered) sunlight may reflect it off it in a way where you won't be able to differentiate what was covered and what wasn't since its all the same depth now. If the damage went down to the base layer well then you've got a date with the paint booth.
