Alright was looking at my car today and found some bird decided to have a stomach ache over bits of my car.

These are those small worm-looking stains that are yellow and LEAVE a yellow stain on my white paint!

I imagine a lot of us here have white Skylines so would have the same problem?

How have you guys gotten bird doo stains off?

I have tried using Armour-all Goo-remover, put on polish then taken it off, Meguires Scratch X...list is growing...pain is growing.

Thanks for any help

When a radiator boils over, the water temp doesn't affect the paint.

When you park the car in the hot sun and the temp gets up to 100 degrees it doesn't ruin the paint either.

So yes... have a go...

If your paint needs compounding later on,...

Wash > High Quality Polish > Sealant > Canauba Wax > more resistant to bird poo stain

x3 on the hot hot water.

Obviously the sooner the better. As soon as you see some rush in and boil the jug!

Takes it off no troubles at all. Then just give it a wipe and a touch up with polish if need be.

sorry to revive an old thread.

did the boiling water end up working? a birds decided to drop its guts over the car. tried a cut and polish around the area but its still stuck there like glue.

Like the others said it won't hurt your paint, so just try it

    • Yes. Probably, given that there is only access from the bottom end of it, go with a drill bit. Don't start too small. 7 or 8mm is probably the right size. You want something that can make a big enough hole to do some damage, but not so bit that it clashes with the steel or binds up and breaks your wrist. A slow speed is probably a good idea too. Once the rubber is destroyed, you then have to get the crush tube off the stud, which will be the whole heat/oil/cutting exercise all over again, but this time with the need to strictly avoid damaging the stud (any further than the corrosion might already have done.
    • We replaced the connector just because we could and it was still there, once we swapped the injectors around it stopped. The injectors were something I had thoughts of replacing even before I first started the engine and in hindsight I should have 
    • Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.
    • I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
    • So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
