hey guys, today i got the runs of a bird on my car while at work >.>
i didnt know till i was off, and by then it was dried up like hell. it left 3-4 spots and clay bar cant remove them, anything else i could use for this.. it looks horrible at an angle
which product could do the best at removing this junk?

thanks for any input

 

Its prob etched the clear, you are going to need a polish of some sort. Scratch X 2.0 can prob take care of it.

 

I had the same issue w/ bird crap on my car. I took it to a local detailer and he used Scratch X and got the residuals off.

 

isnt that the meguiars brand? or am i thinking of something else?

 

Scratch-x = M205. It'll work fine.

 

i hate bird ****!

 

That is heavy duty droppings then if a clay bar can't remove them.

 

Yes it is. You need to use some sort of polish to remove the clear coat etching. Bird poo is like acid. Just buy some Scratch X 2.0 at any store that sells automotive stuff, Target,walmart, autozone, advance auto..ect

 

Clay bars are for embedded contaminants. They arent going to remove bird dropping etchings.

 

i have never had this issue with bird dookey when ever a seagul craps on my car i just take a wet towel and leave it on the dookey for 20 mins and it comes off with a blast from the water hose no scratches or anything done this will all my cars

 

Birds seem to target my car and it sucks...

 

I too have etch marks in my clear coat from every bird dookey that has hit my car. I suspect etching could be avoided if you removed it immediately. It is not a big deal but since I know where the spots are, if you look at them at the right angle, you can see where poop landed.

I have never used scratch x. Is this a mild rubbing compound? I have some NuFinish Scratch Doctor, I wonder if that would work. Scratch Doctor helps to reduce visibility of fine clear coat scratches. It doesn't perform miracles though.

PS I noticed waxing car helps to protect paint from bird poop, but not 100%. I use NuFinish, mainly because I have for years so I am familiar with it, it leaves a nice shine and it lasts a long time. There may be other products out there that do a better job of protecting paint from poop.
