Ok so washing my car today... and as I was drying I saw this. Dunno what it is. It's like when you see oil on wet asphalt. Kinda blue-ish. Anybody got an idea what it might be? All the pictures are clickable.

maybe sun burn?

sunburn or bird doodie did something bad to it? :(

the bird poop might have been on there too long, thus getting that stain...

orbital buffer and some 3m rubbing compound should clear it up

For sure

x2^ Then use 3M polish.

If you cant get 3M go Turtle wax (the little cans not the squirt bottle) Auto Zone. (one can is red and one is green)

that looks very similiar to a cat paw, maybe a cat got into something on the road and jumped on ur parked car....

maybe just a splatter effect of poo at closer inspection

i had a similar "mysterious" stain too. . .
more than likely it was a bird who had the runs!
(i'll post some pics tomorrow on how the poopie
actually burns ur paint job if not cleaned off on time)

^ Please dont!

looks like an animals paw print, cat, racoon, possum?

doesnt look like splatter from poop it wouldnt form like that, definately looks like a paw print.

:eyes: it's JESUS :bow:

lol you had a small photo shoot of that spot i see

yea.... looks like bird dookie...

clay, polish, polish more....... polish maybe more... and wax.

next time if bird go dookie.. clean it up ASAP.

Lawl @ bird poop photoshoot.

Poopie photoshoot ftw. Haha. I thought it was that too (poop), but I've had on other parts of the car, in hotter temps, for longer periods of time with no burn marks. Hmmm :ponder: Oh well, I'll get to buffing it out soon. I need to polish most of the car anyways. Thanks for all the input guys. :)

yeah man thats bird crap, i had a couple on my car, but with a good detail they come out, thats my only complaint about the scions is the paint is pretty thin compared to my integra and my xtreme

this was caused by a birdie who really had to take a runny sh*t
and i never really cleaned it off. i heard about "stories" on how if u dont
clean the poop off asap, it WILL burn ur paint job under the scorching sun!!
( it may look fresh, but its about 8-9 months old)

(yes, yes my car is dirrrty because its been raining for the past couple of days)

lol...this has now become the bird poop thread

Park under a tree lately? Looks like tree sap. Clay bar and some polish should do the trick.

Man, I was parked on a little residential street and sitting inside my parked car one time, when I heard this big metal THUD like a rock just hit my hood or something. I was like holy sh*t, wtf was that? I jumped out and looked at the hood and there was this massive bird poop splatter square in the middle of my hood. I then looked up and I saw this big raven/crow looking thing perched on the top of a power pole with its áss hanging over the edge.

Heh I had those, but while moving. Hey, how many of you can say they've seen a pidgeon actually sit down on a shiny black beamer to take a poop? I love SF birdies. Hehe
