What is up with the paintwork on my case?

[Dylan9889]

I have attached a picture and I am wonder what the hell is up with the finish of my case. It's a corsair 750d, about 2 years old. It's not dirt as I tried cleaning it and it stays the same. Only recently noticed this as it has been sitting on the floor.

Did someone steam clean your carpet or something?

It doesn't come off, even if you try cleaning it with alcohol?

Your case thinks it's a chamaeleon and it has taken it 2 years to start showing the change.

That looks very much like something sprayed on your case.

 

Carpet cleaning chemicals?

Spilt soda on the carpet then when you run the vacuum over that bit...?

Air freshener usually sprays into the air and evapourates but sometimes it lands on surfaces as a fine set of droplets ?

It was definitely not carpet cleaners, I have no Idea what could have caused this as I'm very careful about what goes near my pc.

To me it looks like some "water spot" mineral deposits that are left over when hard water air dries on a surface, but if rubbing alcohol doesn't remove it I'm not sure what it could be. You don't happen to have a cat or dog that might have peed on the floor or on something sitting on the floor near the case, do you? Because maybe the ammonia in the urine could do that? (Idk though, I'm just spitballin' ideas....)

Well in the picture that definitely doesn't look like a wood floor...

I've had steam/carpet cleaners to that to the paint on some metal table legs.

It doesn't look like a problem with the paint itself, something definitely got on your case

Supposition:-

He's put the case up on a worksurface (granite or granite effect) to be able to take piccys better

I do have a dog, don't think he had anything to do with it as I would have noticed.. very confused tbh

Yea, that's what I'm thinking. If I rub my hand over it there's no difference in the feeling of the paint work, something has caused it somewhere down the line just not sure what
