Bird poo and my cup :(

[Butler]

This week I parked my cup outside my flat at uni, unfortunately my spot is situated nicely under a tree and after a week it was covered in bird s**t! Only had the chance today to wash it and some of the stuff was really really stuck on there, after really going at it I got it all off, but... Now my paintwork is a bit fubared, its clearly eaten at the paintwork and on top of that I have light scratches where I have used to much force to get it off! Tried polishing the car which removed most of the scratches but im still left with these gash marks where the bird poo was all over the car!! Dont know what to do... Im a reet perfectionist and the car was mint when I bought it before. Is clio paintwork really this bad. I cleaned my old rallye track car once in a whole year and never had this problem. Really annoyed about it.

Should always wash bird poo off ASAP tbh

Sadly yes mate reno paint is the thinest softest crap ever and bird poo left on for a week will have eaten through the clear coat.. feel for ya i really do, if i get it on mine its off in minits as i dare'nt leave it on there..

I wet sanded mine out, It lightly etches the clearcoat.

Propper pain in the ass. But a few coats of collonite 476 has slowed the process down, I still get the s**t off straight away though.

^ Doesn't matter. Within minutes it's etched in. The gulls up here must EAT acid!
