Welcome in buddy
The frame has an anodised coating and it looks like the previous owner has left brake fluid or something like muc off on there for too long

Im not sure you are going to get rid of that without polishing the frame or fitting some carbon frame protectors to disguise it. :think:

I was thinking 🤔 about the frame covers but I can’t seem to find the full length covers like the newer models
