Hey guys! Got my tC about two weeks ago. The area where I park my car is bird crap central, and my car got bombed on Friday. Wasn't able to give it a wash until today (Sunday) and the bird crap was so acidic it ate away at my clear coat!
I am so pissed! The damage is very noticeable with Flint Mica. Would probably be less noticeable with lighter colors.
Seeing as it's inevitable that my car will get bombed again in my neighborhood, I'm not going to do anything about it right now, but do you guys have any suggestions on what to do? I tried waxing it today but the bird bomb stains are still there.
For starters go to Poorboysworld.com and get your self some SSR1, SSR2.5 and some natty wax. Now go to Sams Club or BJs and buy some microfiber towels. The SSRs will get most of the stain out. The natty wax will make it shine nice. Oh.. Buy some Bird crap remover from PBs. Have fun... Use the 2.5 first and then the SSR1.. It will work.
Well, it's possible with the birds in my area, apparently. The places where the bird crap was have left a dull stain so it's not shiny in those areas anymore. Waxing didn't help.
I bought some mothers carnauba wax today and spent a good 2 and a half hours trying to buff it out. Unfortunately it didn't make any difference at all. The rest of the car is really shiny, though!
I dont think polish or any kina cleaner will work. I had the same #### happen to me this past week. I polished my whole car front to back n wasnt able to get it out. looks like the bird crap ate through the clear coat. Im gona have mine re-painted when i paint my body kit...
This is all I do. I put a wet towel on the bird poop, let it soften it and after a few minutes, I remove it and wipe it off. If you can see an outline, I gently pour water in that area, wipe it down, then use a touch up wax, just to make sure its all off.
I'd rather have water lines and all that on my car, then bird poop. And get it off asap. You don't have to wash the ENTIRE car, for one spot. Trust me, you'll learn to live with the wet spots, versus a bird poop spot.
Dude,, swirl removers have mild abrasives in them and will remove some of the clear coat. I am pretty sure that the crap did not go all the way through the clear coat finish. Try some meguiars scratch x.. might work
