Sharpie Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Finished work today to find that the local birds have been using my car for target practice. Washed the car tonight because of this but, found that the sh$t had already started to do some damage - I guess with external air temps being 27-30 DegC (more in direct sunlight for the whole day) it was baked on. It came off OK during the wash but, noticed the slight orange peel affect on the paint, it was only on the car for a matter of hours. I guess I'm going to strip the car of all polish/wax at the weekend and see if this helps remove the damage already done ??????? Just a warning if you see any Sh$t on your car in these temps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Try a clay bar Pete. I have a bit on mine which has gone right through and fractured the paint, its annoying but you only see it if you really inspect the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Pete, I had a similar problem, I used most of the off the shelf products to try and remove the damage with little effect, in the end I got GVN to try and polish it out, not a total success but a big improvement. A good trusted bodyshop should be able to do this for you. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macer Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 A Clay bar, as already mentioned, and some Zymol HD-Cleanse. Or if you don't want to use Zymol I'm sure Meguires will do something similar, I just mentioned Zymol cos that's what I use and it does an excellent job...

Bobbeh Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I have the Zymol bar too, Meguairs had sold out of their clay kit due to a shortage from the US. I can well recommend it though. Got mine through Demon Tweeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally buy from Vertar http://www.vertar.com/product.asp?P_ID=213&strPageHistory=search&strKeywords=klay&numPageStartPosition=1&strSearchCriteria=any&PT_ID=all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
