Help from detailers please

So I stupidly left my car out last night and a bird thought It was ok to drop it's guts over my roof and I think it's burnt though the laqor now iv tried clay bar, compound but no luck . I do have a da machine so I will have ago with that but just wonderd if this has happend to anyone else here and how did they get it sorted cheers

Omg what did it shit pure acid....

I would wash it pull it into the shade and try to polish the roof by hand first

Compound by hand didn't work doubt just polishing it will but thanks for your advise :-)

I have never seen a bird turd do anything like that, I have had some on my car a few days before and it's fine.

If you use a DA then use the weakest pad and polish type you can first.

Also, it might be worth pm'ing either Peter Richards or Stonkin as they would give you the best advice IMO.

Sweet

Where's peter when you need him

Try bug and tar remover (AS tardis is my preference) on the spot first, let it sit and wipe away with a damp cloth. Then use the DA, I've got rid of worse on that car, worse case scenario is you wet sand it and polish it back up. But I highly doubt it will come to that (unless it isn't bird dirt lol)

T cut and polish the s### out if it

A pro tip:

Try a hot air gun, and very gently warm the area up. Be very careful as it's easy to burn the paint, but if you get it right, watch it disappear

helllooo im here

try a polishing pad and some finishing product , see if that gets it off , if not just increase the product cut first , say a medium compound , before breaking out the cutting pad.

fingers crossed it comes out ok but don't forget to do the whole roof seal then wax

wasn't going to say this till later , but as some guys have suggested wet sanding , that's only if the polishing doesn't work , but remember sometimes this shit can go through the laquer and you cant get it even wet sanding which then would result in you going to far and buggering it up completely

Wet sanding.............never been so scared of doing anything to my car before or since.

not that bad if you got the right tools , paint thickness guage is essential

Thanks guys will do it tomorrow after work and post up the end results

I had exactly the same on my spoiler in two places and it happened twice!!! first time I got the polisher out with some G10 and polished it out the second time I did the above which worked wonders.

This was only on the car overnight, i've seen this on cars i've had after they've been left days/weeks. What do the birds near you be eating?!?!
