So they go back on clean glass, I went over the windscreen with Ech2o.

She’s a retired teacher, which I hope to be in a few years, and after sharing some educational stories her husband inquired about ceramic coatings but it was a bit out of their budget. I gave the couple the free retired teacher/birthday boy upgrade to a one year coating and the husband was thrilled with how his truck turned out. Their gratitude made the extra work worth it.





    That’s a nice looking truck. You left it looking Great!

    Years ago had this issue with a cow bird and a random cardinal always attacking the mirrors even if folded in. So picked up a crow decoy, and no issues for years....until this year.

    Got a little bastarrd house ren that started venturing over to our property from the neihbors vehicles to start hitting the buick. Had to start putting plastic bags on the mirrors. I got another crow decoy to put near the car but didnt work. So i picked up an owl decoy today....gonna see how ballsy this little puff ball is.

    I also had this problem, it happened in the work carpark, this bird would fly from car to car attacking his reflection in the side mirrors. I got some old socks and put them over my mirrors, problem solved. Other people laughed, but he was pecking hard, I don't doubt he did some damage.

    Had this same problem last spring put old mf towel over the side mirrors, and decided to attack his reflection from the window's, i wasn't happy so i said to him and his family take it next door where they don't care about there car's.

    Or unfortunately he will disappear for good.

    House ren update... owl decoy not effective. Same with plastic bags over mirrors since my wife said she observed the bird ramming its head into the front fender and on top of the hood as well. She did go out and shoo him away.

    Guess its a compliment from the bird, but maybe i shouldnt have made the paint so shiney!!What did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
