Unusual paint damage(PICS)
What do you guys think could have caused this damage. While washing the car, the paint just flew off the bumper. I'm guessing it was shopping cart.
Either way this sucks

you car sustained a pretty big bump...much more so than what a shopping cart could do. if you look at where the bumper meets the body it's out of alignment. it appears someone bumped you while your car was parked, pushing your bumper pretty far in and spider cracking the paint, but you didn't notice it until the paint flakes came off while washing it.

Yep...using a pressure washer at the time. I know that's not the best way to wash, just trying to get some bird shit off.
You can't really see it but below the black mark there is a circular scratch. Like stated earlier, I guess it was pushed in and popped back out.

Yep. What they said..
I slight bump will leave these very small cracks in your paint. That over time, will get moisture under it and eventaully peal off, like yours.
Sorry Bro!
