I have had my RS2 for about 3 week now and i have cleaned it atleast two times a week and the first time i didnt clean it for a week becasue i didnt have time. Anyways there was bird crap on the hood and today i cleaned it i noticed a blemish were the bird crap was. It is like the clearcoat came up.

 

Have you tried buffing the area out? Bird poo is acidic and can cause damage to clear coat, but more often than not that damage can be repaired with a good buffing

Thanks for the replies but it is not a stain it is like the paint is seperated from the paint and it is poping up and ther is a stain.

 

then take it to the dealership or a body shop. good luck

 

It's moisture trapped under the clearcoat. Let it sit in the sun for a few days and it should disapear. If not, it's etched into the clearcoat and may come out with some fine cut compound and a rotary buffer with a foam pad. Good luck and let us know if it goes away.

 

Um kinda scary cause i have an rs2 also and i have noticed the same thing in more than one place and not just from bird crap.

 

I always carry Armorall and a towel in my hatch. I can't tell you how many times it has come in handy.

 

You need to change whatever you're doing. I have an RS2 and have had no problems. I take care of cars for a living so I know what I'm doing. There's nothing wrong with the RS2 paint, other than it being on the soft side, which is common of Japanese vehicles. If problems occur its usually because of neglect or the inability or lack of knowledge to correct the problem.

 

agreed, my rs2's paint is perfect. I inspect it up and down every time i wax the car. I had 1 incident with acid from a bird turd that started to eat through the top layer or clear coat, a little bit of meguiers detailing spray and a cotton towell solved that problem.
Dont forget to wax your car at least once every other wash and wash off bird poo the second you see it.
