Bird Sh#t

Hi All,

I just got about 10 seagull turds on my car at work, washed it off within 2 hours but the damage was already done. I used a pressure washer to clean all the crap off but the 'residue' left over is stuck on the paint! Colour is a dark blue and had a full respray about 1 month ago..

What's the best way to remove the residue/stains? Any help appreciated

Cheers,

Polish it...

[alexk]

Like a cut & polish or just a standard issue polish?

[alexk]

What about something like WD-40?

Normal polish

And why put WD40 on it! It's a f**king lubricant!

[NA_Goodness]

With WD-40, the paint won't sqeak as it moves around!! <<WTF?

LOL... i accidently got some silicon on my car last week and i didn't know what to use to get it off and all i had was some petrol and a can of wd40..used the wd40 and worked a treat!!

[redevil]

Yeah wat the hell would wd40 do???

just yeah a good brand polish will do the trick

[NA_Goodness]

So WD-40 is like a cure all? Like Windex in My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Spilt silicon, get WD-40, have a cold, get WD-40, get hit by a car, get WD-40. Its a mirricle formular!!

And thats the end of my randomness for today!

long live WD-40

Depends mate. A good polish wont do the job if its eaten through the paint. You will need a decent cutting product. When you say residue what do you mean? Bug & Tar cleaner may do the job if its just only surface related.

[alexk]

The 'residue' doesn't come off with a pressure washer or sponge & detergent but it feels like it is sitting on the paint, not eating through.. i thought bug & tar remover was very harsh on the paint??

bah try hot water mix with some terps but do it quick or else eat the paint i think and have hose with ya as well when ya do it lol should take it off quick if not wipe it down as well , a car detailing friend told me to do that but not reccomended to do i never tried it my self maybe for you should try it ,

[fab34]

Claybar is good but I just didnt wanna throw the idea around to someone who has never used it. If it scratches the paint I dont want to be reponsible for fixing it!

Bug & Tar remover isnt harsh on the paint. A good polish after ad you'll be sweet...
