Bird Waste Etching...

[giorgoXXI]

I have two bird poo etching marks on my bonnet, and since the car is black, they are highly visible. I have tried Bug and Tar removal products but they didn't make a difference. I have just ordered the Supagard Bird Lime Neutraliser and will try that on but I was wondering if anyone has any experience removing these marks? Thanks.

will they clay out?? or t-cut/scratch x out??

Haven't tried them, but I am worried they might be too abrasive and damage the paintwork even more... would you recommend them? Which one specifically, T-Cut, Scratch X ?

they wont be too abrasive mate. i've used scratch x on several cars with no problems at all in the past.

if the bird lime is mildly etched, then a good polish should also be able to sort it. but to be honest, i'd be tempted to give the bonnet a good going over with clay and then get a good sealant/glaze on there and maybe a layer of wax to finish it off.

may as well do the whole car whilst ur at it :shutit: lol

I would use Autoglym Super Resin Polish. Was the are you want to clean dry it and then put about 10p coin size amount on a cotton cloth or bit of old towel and work you way onto the area and it will remove it. T-cut is to strong for that. Good luck.

as robb says mate, give a good clean with some car shampoo, go over it with some clay bar megs quick clay probably the best, then could scratchx it for good measure as well some more polish and then the good old wax will bring it up a treat matey.

polish is what you need,go with the least abrasive first,when you have removed the etching use a paint sealant for future protection.
