Before cleaning

After cleaning
Water draining to this area caused the dirt & grime to stick. What is the cause of water of draining to this area? Don’t know how it was damaged. Please note scratch marks & dents on the painted metal. Thank you for commenting!

You got disappointed once you figured where water drainage happens on you car and dirt accumulates under the hood.

Where is the damage ??

There are drainage issues but not there. It's the clogged drain that floods the SAM enclosure.
