Is this fixable? Bird poop damage.

[Borat1987]

Got this damage on the hood of my Nissan Juke, is there anyway to repair or minimise the damage?

If it was your car what would you?

Thanks in advance

From the pics, it appears to be through the clear. Sorry

It's a done.

My dads car has a couple bad spots like that too. Part of why I don't feel bad washing my new car often.

Is this an instance where you could/should fill it with a wax to 'minimize' it?

That really deosnt look like bird etchings,rather a inferior repair.

I wouldn't use a wax. I would use something like BlackFire Crystal Seal or OptiSeal.

Ok i was told bird poo damage but dont have much of an idea.

Is there a way to make it look better?

The only way to make it look better is to perform some damp sanding.

I would set up a small DA such as the GG3 with a 3" foam interface pad and 3000 grit sandpaper. Then follow up with 5000 grit paper. After that you can polish it out and seal it.

Plenty of good information here to read on damp sanding.

3000 grit has no bite as well as 5000.Those are finishing disc to repair the intial sanding process and make buffing a breeze.If you look at the depth of those ridges,you would need more of a agressive paper grit to make a difference.That spot looks weak and spells trouble.although good info for a different circumstance or easier repair.
