Morning all,
I've recently been away for a few days and returned to find a dollop of seagull mess down the side of my car. Typical. Anyway, it's affected the paint work..bloody toxic waste. Is there anything I can do to fix or is it a job for a professional?

:sick:

Depends on the damage. May polish it. May need a respray.
-
Try scratch x & then a good polish after. :smiley:
-
Scratch X.. Ace, I'll look into it.
Cheers guys :congrats:
-
Try..
A good quality polish by hand....
Then...
Try some T-cut....
Then...
Machine polish
Then...

Nothing wrong with t-cut if used correctly.

But if used incorrectly with happily take the clear coat off your car :surprised:

could have burnt the paintwork, I would use a quick detailing spray to get it off and go from there, hate bird poo

Quick update..
The scratch - x was a genius move!! All signs of burn poo damage gone.. :congrats:
Thanks :laugh:

..........worked on mine also. :happy2:

I came back to my car yesterday to find a similar story.
I've learned from bitter experience to get it off asap, but it took two buckets of very warm water and a lot of patience to soak off the stubborn substrata (I'm not showing off, just proving I'm sober)
What do those birds eat??

........i did when i found it on mine & always do. Car is covered in AG HD wax but this one time it still left a mark after washing it off. Good going over with the scratch x & then a re-cover of the HW wax & good as new. :happy2:

I carry babywipes in the car for this exact reason! G/f thinks im made when she sees me in a car park wiping it off the car.
-
so far i've been lucky, i've always got the bird poo off with minimum lingering time, i always carry some QD spray in the car and agitating the bird poo with that always removes it in one go with no marks (the car is also sealed and waxed - car is still beading well enough whenever it rains, which is a lot right now, but needs redoing soon.)
Where i live we have cherry trees and they are currently bearing little fruits. Some of the folks who have parked beneath them have had their cars re-sprayed in a very patchy manner by the pigeons in a very violent purple/black/white effect... :sick: i never park under a tree unless i absolutely have to. The funny thing is that these folks do nothing about the mess on their cars they just leave them to gather more... :stupid:

You missed wet-sanding before respray...
