Here's where the bird poo was. I haven't rewaxed the area. I don't see micro abrasians though.

Re: Bird Sh*t!
I always thought it was pretty clever how birds poo just as they are taking off. Its hard to show paint defects on photos, you are really the best judge of your paint.

I agree. Maybe taking off makes them grunt.
It's not that hard to show defects. Not when you're a professional photographer anyway.

Re: Bird Sh*t!
I think dchawk81 started a good discussion and there has much made of nothing in this thread, but it has been entertaining.
The paper towel seems to have been a controlled situation and damage has been minimized and certainly not permanent.
Bottom line, we need to get the poo off because (either in seconds or an hour depending on who you believe) the finish will be compromised.

Thanks.
I thought it would have been obvious due to my mention of dew, but this was fresh poo on a cool morning (55°F or thereabouts). It literally slid off the way a towel glides over wax. No scrubbing.
I wouldn't have taken a paper towel to hardened poo on a dry 100°F day at high noon.

Re: Bird Sh*t!
I carry a small spray bottle (re-bottled) of "Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere" and a couple of MF towels just for bird poo.
The irony is that since I began doing this, I haven't been 'hit.' Maybe they know it's not worth their effort to poop on my vehicle(s). (LOL)

You paper towel-phobes must really have a canary when some of the members apply coatings like Opti-Coat with the foam applicator inside the nitrile glove wrapped with a shop paper towel technique.
