Default A sea gull pooped on my car

I tried washing, buffing and everything else but it will not budge. Oh yeah its off but it left a faint white stain on my brillant black gt. Any recommendations beside grilling the bird?

UGH. Sorry to hear that. I feel your pain pal. Have you tried a polish or a good scratch remover (i know its not scratched). You're going to have to work down the clearcoat a bit on the spot and the surrounding area.

good luck and let me know how you make out.

You need some of those motion tracking shotguns that were on the Bond car(I forget which one, sepcifically). Bird comes too close, *pap*, dead bird. I'm still working on getting the gatling gun for my car. Apparently the US has some 'problem' with importing from Russia though, pfft.

I learned the hard way on a previous car. Bird crap can leave a nasty stain. When I find a bird crap on my car I drop whatever I'm doing and clean it off immediately. Also, make sure you keep a good couple of coats of wax on the car to help protect it.

have you tried claying it? I actually carry around a spray bottle and a microfibre cloth and hose it down.

The real tough part about seaguls is their crap is made up of a lot of sand, lots and lots of water so you don't scratch the crap out of the clear coat.

I have an '89 GMC PU. Red. Been a real battle trying to keep it "RED". Couple of months ago I used Meguiar's three step stuff. First their cleaner, then the polish, but I used thier "Gold" wax instead of the part 3 wax. Really amazing how it came out! Last weekend, went over again with Meguiar's "Next Generation" wax. WOW!

Try using Meguiar's products!
