WGDGPS/Fuzion observation.
Ok, for those who know me I am a pretty big Collinite fan.
My mainstay has been 476s for quite a few years.
This year, I went ahead and used WGDG topped with Fuzion. I posted some pics afterward of how the two made my metallic pop like mad.
I've been pretty happy with it all in all.
Today, I noticed a bird bomb on the truck as I left work. Grabbed my Speed Shine and wiped it off, but noticed the spot was still there.
The bomb was only there for less than an hour, as I had looked at the truck 30-40 minutes beforehand, and it was not there.
When I got home, I looked at it better and the bomb had eaten through the Fuzion/WGDG completely.
I had to use a little Griot's FCC, and reapply some Fuzion for tonight.
I know there are different kinds of bird bombs, but this didn't look out of the ordinary, and was only the size of a quarter.
I have found bird bombs on Collinite 476 that I had no clue how long they were on there, and the product was unaffected after removal.
Collinite 1, WG 0 in the bird bomb protection category IMO............

Re: WGDGPS/Fuzion observation.
FWIW, I recall DGPS on the wife’s car showing signs of water spots a few times and bird poo etching a few times. Both times I used WW which helped a bit but could definitely still see etchings. Went inside with my head down, probably holding back tears.
Came out hours later or the next day to see the “etchings” totally gone. It’s as if they only etched DGPS and it took awhile but the WW must have penetrated in further, or just natural weathering or some sort of magic and then they were gone.
I’m not saying you’ll be this lucky but my fingers are crossed for you. DGPS is the only LSP I’ve experienced this with.

Sorry for your clear coat Paul, unfortunate because they are both well reviewed and held in high regard. Guessing they’re some New Jersey birds if they’re droppings ate through them that quickly..

Thank God they are not from Jersey. If so, they paid too many tolls.
The clear seems to be fine, just a little sketched about Chicago pizza (oh, I mean bird) bombs now with the WG duo.

Haha!
Never underestimate a birds will and willingness to ruin a mans freshly detailed pride and joy!
Have no fear, the Collonite trio has been proven to protect against dense melted cheese, tomato acids and high temp deep dish crust associated with Chicago Pizza.

Re: WGDGPS/Fuzion observation.
I recently had my car painted. I had it sitting outside and came home and found a bird bomb. I used some waterless wash to remove it. The car was sprayed with multiple coats of clear and that crap etched the clearcoat. There are some bird bombs that I don't think any product will completely protect from.

Yes, I believe this to be true.
The godd@mn thing probably had an entire Chicago style pizza before it bombed me.............

It was probably the obligatory layer of sausage that contributed to it ...
