Jesus954 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 When i bought my car i knew it had this stains but i never thought it be hard to remove so i didnt care much about it. It looks like bird droppings where left on the car for a while and the sun did its magic, i tried washing and waxing and clay barring it and nothing. If it helps when you pass your fingers around the stain its smooth with tiny little sand paper bumps on it. Many of the car detailers i have asked about this told me that its passed the clear coat and a complete paint of the door/roof must be done and stuff but i think they just want the money, here are some pics hopefully some of you experts would help me out. ignore the "scratch like things" they just dirt from splashed rain water...

djspawn00 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 i dunno if a good compounding can take it out but i'd give that a try... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mburnickas Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Sometimes vinegar works but most time is a light compound. That is why a good sealant helps along with a nice wax. But sometimes nothing will, I know one the Lexus lot one was burned into my paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOGWT Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Always use the least invasive product first- a) A safe solvent; Stoner’s Tarminator, Simple Green® Aircraft & Precision Cleaner, Isopropyl alcohol or Mineral spirits B) Detailer’s Clay / Lubricant c) A chemical / abrasive paint surface cleaner (Zaino Paint Cleaner Z-PC or Zaino All-In-One Z-AIO) d) If the surface has been etched use an abrasive polish and a polisher (Rotary or Random orbital) e) Wet-sand using 2000 – 300 grit finishing paper The same rule applies to abrasive polishes, finishing papers and foam pads – Always use the least abrasive first before ‘stepping–up’ to the next abrasive level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrome04 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yes, you may have to wet-sand. The acid in bird crap can eat down into the paint if left for long enough :( If it's not too bad a good compound+polishing should work, but if it is severe enough you may need to get it re-painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird "stuff" will, not can eat the paint and most times nothing can be done. You have like 48 hour window then it is all over unless you have a good wax/selanat on it. Then add like 1 day to it.
