Sealant for Bird bombs
So after reading another post about bird bombs and specifically it etching WGDGPS was wondering what's best.
For the ones I have Duragloss 105, Klasse KSG , WGDGPS and Collinite 845/476 all say they protect against bird droppings except WGDGPS.
I was ready to use the WGDGPS but now not so sure.

•Bird bombs must always be removed ASAP.
-Sealants will provide just a wee little bit
of extra time to “git ‘er done”...
How long does it take for a bird dropping to etch paint?

Are coatings any better? I guess if it eats clear coat/paint nothing is bulletproof.
I just may continue with what I have.
Thanks
Bob
PS I just noticed the time difference

Re: Sealant for Bird bombs
I have had etching with sealants. Zaino and Duragloss to be specific. Since changing to Collinite (any one) I have had zero water spots and etching over the last 8-10 years and I do not need to run out and dry the vehicles after rain and the Sun coming out. I can also remove bird bombs when I get to them without being paranoid.

Re: Sealant for Bird bombs
I’ve had no issues with WGDGPS on my black Acura TLX and my wife’s white X3. I am quick to remove them on my TLX since I drive it, my wife’s car I won’t see until the evenings on the following morning.

I'm starting to think it's certain types of birds?
I;m glad the chickens here don't fly,except when I use the paintball gun.

Exactly my experience with Collinite. Especially 476S.
I posted about the WGDG/Fuzion combo a couple of months ago. Nothing looked as good as these two on my metallic paint. But a small bird bomb (size of a nickel) that had dwelled less than 30 minutes ate right through them like nothing.
I may take another members advice, and try the WG combo next spring, then top with 476S.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

IMO the potency of bird $hit (etching) depends highly on what the bird ate. Foods high in acid would be much worse than grass seeds.

Of course this is true.
But a bird could try a Chicago-style pizza over at DiMiglo's house, then fly over to UncleDavy's for some Boston baked beans, and never soil the 476.

Well I don't think it's the rice they're eating here, so it must be the spam musubi or pork adobo.
Too far to fly to Chicago or Boston!
