bird poops under the sun, what to do?

[kisshmet]

Sorry for reviving old thread. Tanong lang, marami kasi nagsasabi na kailangan linisin ang bird poop asap before it stains the paint.

Pero what if natanggal mo na yung poop, and there's already a faint "map" or etching on the paint, may urgency pa rin ba na tanggalin yung etching itself (I dunno, by polish or rubbing compound)? Does it still progressively get worse? Or pwede hintayin until next detailing?

Bird dungs are acidic, that caused the discoloration. If you have already cleared the dung then it wont deteriorate unless a fresh bird strike hits the same spot.

So watch out for bird dung

Then I'll try not to worry about it for now haha. Will just watch out for these in the future, thanks!

Yes acidic nga.

Even with regular waxing (Collinite 845) occasionally the bird bombs would still etch my paint. Like a deeper watermark. Needs a bit of cutting to remove.

Curious pa rin ako though sa itsura nung pagtuklap kaya I was hoping for a photo. Clearcoat lang ba yung natanggal?

The best way sa pagtanggal ng bird poo ay basain ang table napkin o tissue, tapos ipatong o ilagay sa bird poo.hayaan mo lang for about 10 mins at alisin ang tissue and BWALA,malambot na ang poo poo at puede mo nang punasan o i hose ng water....proven na iyan bro...

Spray it with wd40...leave it for 5 mins then wipe dry

remove the poop asap.
but once it does its demolition job on the paintwork, there's nothing you can do anymore.
if your clearcoat is thick, you might do some "vigorous simonizing", to remove the damaged surface and some of the clearcoat as well..

What’s worse than bird poop is bird vomit. It rapidly eats into the paint, down to the primer if not removed as soon as possible. This is why i always bring a spray bottle of Microtex quick wash. I just spritz it & let it sit for a while. Easier than WD.

Bat droppings are on the level of bird poo as well.

i've started using turtle wax bug and tar remover for those damaging tree sap napalm bombs and nasty bird droppings . it's very effective on those paint contaminants even if they're already dried out and baked by the sun's unforgiving uv rays.

the turtle wax bug and tar remover is also easy to lug around and store in your trunk. and since it's no longer sold in pressurized aerosol cans, there's no danger of it exploding inside your baggage area during those frying pan hot summer afternoons

finally meron ako kasama user ng b&t remover hehehe. it does leave an oily feel though. needs to be rinsed off imo.

i've used "happy toothpaste" several moons ago , spray water on poop first - then apply toothpaste , gently brush este rub the "pooped area"

[kisshmet]

^toothpaste is fine its made up of baking soda which is good in counteracting acids but water is the best to deal with acidic substance like bird dung

Thanks guys!!!

Tried wd40 since i have it in the garage pero may natira pa din... i bought the turtle wax tar and bug remover, the smell is very similar with wd40 pero foamy siya... tanggal ang bird poop which i think less than 2 week old na....

tapos minsan may poops ng ibon, pag-uwi ko sa bahay, binasa ko ng tubig at car wash shampoo..ntuklap pintura ko..

no wax or sealant? these are basics for car paint maintenance...

[kagalingan]

hayaan nyo na lang. Dumaan na din ako sa ganyan na kukut-kutin tapos lalo lang napalala kasi tuklap pintura.

Chaka vegetarian yan ibon iniputan mga kotse dito metro manila.

Malayo mga aguila at walang vulture sa pinas.

So let it be. Enough na car wash. Wag nyo na pilitin. Gagamit pa kayo kung ano-ano chemical eh skin nyo naman maapektuhan.
