I was cleaning my tC yesterday when i noticed a bird poop stain. I thought nothing of it, as iam wiping the devils goo of my fender i notice that the paint stayed blurry in that spot. Almost like theres still some stuff there. No mattter how much i wipe and clean and scrub it wont come out. Its hardly noticable but bothers me alot. Does anyone know any way to remove it? Any help would be highly appreciated.

 

Anyone?

 

Hey.

My wifes Lava was stained by a fruity bird poo. The sun and time eventually drew it back out. I don't know if there's any safe way to speed up the process.

 

But eventually it went away? Like can she see it anymore?

 

wash the car....use some detailing clay on it.....then use some paint cleaner(applies like wax)..then some paint polish(also applies like wax)...then some wax(applies like wax...?)...that should take care of it......

 

^^^

Thats the way to go.
If that doesn't work, your clear coat may have been damaged.
Let us know if you resolve the problem.

 

Right. But, others have a better idea

 

try dabbing some wax on the area......wax tends to clean paint better than just washing the surface.

wax on and off a few times.....cant hurt i guess

 

^^^ yeah it can hurt......all wax does is form a protective coating......you need to use a cleaner and polish every time before you wax.....washing alone does not remove old wax...you must use a cleaner to remove all build up and then a polish to remove swirl marks and fine scratches....then the wax to try to keep the swirl marks and fine scratches from coming back......

 

good news ......... when i went out to lunch at work, it was gone. I dunno i guess the sun got to it or something.

 

simply for future reference....these are the proper steps to care for your car......

 

Jere 1 the rest of you over complicated livin people 0 ! *points and laughs*

 

don't most kwality waxes have some sort of cleaner built into them??

I was always told that if you see oxidized paint on your rag (when applying/removing wax), the wax is removing (i.e cleaning) damaged paint.

 

The only way I know of to get rid of the stain is to take it to a detail shop and have them use a high speed buffing wheel. I had some scratches that they removed with the wheel for $10, so Im sure it will remove the stains. I just washed, clayed, glazed and waxed my car and have a compound in an attempt at removing it. A few bucks and 4 1/2 hours later and there is still a stain. The best thing to do is keep a good coat of wax on your car and keep some Meguiars quick detail spray in your car with a microfiber towel for such occassions. Its when bird $hit is baked for a while in the sun that it really does the damage.

 

There are a few that are this way and ok to use...but most of them aren't adequate.....you might think taking one step for everything makes it look just as good as if you were to use all steps seperately but having all seperate products will make your paint better further down the road....
