    The infamous power of bird poo

    Yesterday I got off work and noticed this massive bird poo on my roofThe infamous power of bird poo-imageuploadedbyagonline1462922253-033896-jpg

    Seriously, I don't know what that bird ate but it must have been quite a lunch. I removed it as soon as I got home. Now today I noticed that it left me another gift on my front bumper just below my headlight. Removed it right away. But the damage was already done. It ate through my clear coat.

    So yeah, it is very important to get rid of bird droping as soon as possible.

    Sometimes if you treat those with some baking soda paste, and some people also advocate an IPA wipe, and you let them outgas a little, you can get some of that stain/etch to come out. I'm talking mostly about the cloudy appearance, probably nothing is going to change in the pitted area.

    I put some CG Jet seal and CG Butter wet wax but it was in October of last year. I didn't have time to clay and put it back this year yet so there is most likely nothing left.

    Dude I feel your pain. My old neighbor used to dump a total of a 5 gallon bucket of seed in the front and back yard twice a day and our houses nearly touched. Pigeons everywhere hundreds of them at all times. Glad I don't live there anymore lol.

    Could I just sand and polish or even just polish?
