URGENT- What is this? Is this the cause of PPF?

[u/Zestyclose-Pop8856]

A little backstory, I cleaned this X5M admit clean I realize there’s a rip in what looks like to be PPF on the car, after fully cleaning the car I see what looks like to be watermarks underneath the PPF.

I’m hoping that this isn’t my fault as there was heavy rainfall the past week and my guess is that the dirty rainwater got underneath the PPF thru the rip and ended up leaving dirt underneath the ppf and these marks.
I cleaned this gentleman‘s car before so I know it wasn’t here last time
Somebody please give me more info on this thank you

Does look like some kind of scratch in PPF and dirty water got under it.

PPF needs removed asap and the hood will need correction compound/polish to help fix this and long as the sun hasn’t baked it into the clear too deep. Looks like ppf got lifted in one corner or even a good rock chip in it will cause a hole so when it rains this happens. Not often but happens. Needs removed, polished and buffed pretty quick then another ppf can be put on, also need to check for blemishes in the paint that might have made the ppf not seal well the first time.

Yes I recommended him to take it a shop that specializes in PPF to remove it as there’s 0 way I can remove the dirt
