Help: Bird S**t Mark

[S2H]

Big mark on the door. Cleaned the poop off but it's left a proper stain. It looks like its on the surface but won't come off. Any ideas? Cheers.

Everyone has a bottle, try autoglym super resin polish with a microfibre cloth. If that doesn't improve it then more than likely it's damaged the clearcoat and will need a proper correcting compound used by machine

 

[S2H]

Looks like its really got into the paint :/ don't know how deep it's gone.

Do you have any paint polishes?

If it was left on for ages it may need wetsanding out, but you might be able to remove it or improve it with a decent polish.

 

[Dave..]

Grab yourself some srp and a foam pad. Rub on, buff off, stain gone.

Got bird s**t on my car today at work, got home and got it off but as its been sat in direct sun light had pretty much baked on and left a mark! Super resin polish won't do anything so seeing a body shop tomorrow night to see if they can machine it out!

​what would you expect to pay?

Bit of G3, but be careful!

​About a tenner.

I thought no more than £10 too

 

[Elfy]

They wanted £35 plus Vat and to book me in!

is there anything in halfords I can get and try myself! Lot of money for a bird stain no bigger than 50p

If they worked just the area the stain is, it would look rubbish and stand out as the rest of the panel won't match.

at the end of the day, you went to a business that needs to make money. That price is probably only basic labour charge.

find a detailing hobbyist on here that's local to run over the panel for a few beers tokens. Isnt magpieV6 close to Bedfordshire area?
