Re: Bird bombs
So right now my paint is bare. I have a case of this stuff.
Been using it here and there mostly as just a quickie detail spray.
I'm thinking about putting a few layers on. It's easy on easy off and is pretty slippery. At least for now.
I'm not really a fan of ceramic coatings and enjoy waxing/buffing/polishing. Detailed to the nines is my daily goal.
But them birds are starting to piss me off.

Re: Bird bombs
That depends on how acidic the Bird Bomb is. Bird Bombs can etch any LSP and even your clear coat paint finish. Ceramic Coatings and Polymer Paint Sealants would offer the best protection against Bird Bombs IMO.

Re: Bird bombs
These turds definitely hit the Clearcoat.
I got a bottle of this which I'm sure is better than the Lucas . How is it for the bombs?

Re: Bird bombs
The best, and actually the only way, to protect from bird bombs is to remove them ASAP. LSPs may provide some marginal protection but I would never put my full faith in any of them.
This happened to my brand new truck back in 2016 the day after I picked it up. I was at Lowe's buying some materials and when I came out this is what I found. I went back in the store and bought a $15.00 bottle of water (with bottle deposit) to rinse off the mess. I didn't even want to risk driving home with that massive bird strike cooking on the hood.

I feel your pain.

Re: Bird bombs
The Blackfire BlackICE Hybrid Liquid Wax is awesome. It's a great product to have in your detailing arsenal. It will help protect the paint surface, but that depends on how acidic the bird bomb is and how long it stays on the paint surface before you remove it. Always try to remove any bird bombs ASAP since they are acidic.

I'm going to lay down some of the Blackfire Hybrid Liquid Wax then maybe another layer tomorrow.

I agree.
Of all the sealants/waxes/hybrids I have tried, Collinite products have been the best "bird bomb shields" by far.
But like others have said, no LSP is impervious to all bird bombs. You really need to remove them ASAP.
I find it very useful to always have a nice, soft MF towel and some QD or spray wax on hand (stored in your car/truck) for those little "bird gifts".
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Bird bombs
One has to keep in mind that the acid in the bird crap must be neutralized. Otherwise it will keep eating the paint. I would neutralize first before reapplying with any wax or sealant
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.
