Every day when I leave work I go out to my car and there is always some huge pile of bird **** on the hood or the roof. I go home and get out some detailer spray and get the **** off. BUT the car has sat outside in the sun for 8 hours and the place where the **** was is always dull as hell and if you rub your finger over the place the crap was its always a difrerent texture than the rest of the paint.

Is the **** eating into the clear?

what can be done to resolve these and get these "spots" out? and Prevent it from "staining the paint" .. BTW is use NXT every few months and quick wax after washing

why take the **** off? just shoot them mother ******* birds. you paid good money for your car, and shouldnt let no bird **** on it. damn I wish I had an ls1 instead of this lt1

Yes, if the droppings are left on the paint too long, it can/will etch the paint. At that point, it will require a paint polish to remove the etching.

NXT has very limited durability in my experience. If that's what you like to use, I would recommend applying it at least once a month.

Invest in a cheap car cover that is water proof. That way it won't soak through it onto your paint. That stuff will eat into the clear. It did on my hood and it was only on there for like an hour I think that bird crapped pure sulfuric acid or something.

lol... I try to put bakin soda on bird ****... I've always heard it will neutralize the acidic properties of the ****. Im no scientist though... I know it would have to be on the paint along long time before it did any major damage though.

sorry man, this made me LOL. It can mess up the paint but its usually fixable. Claybar the car, polish and use a good protecting wax

I hate birds. They seem to hate anything shiny. There are NO trees where I park and I park in the middle of the lot and STILL wind up with bird crap on my car it seems like about every time I drive it. I keep the Meguiars detailer spray in the car and clean it off as quickly as I can. I haven't had any that left lasting spots on the paint though.

The wax.

I agree... but then again i use NXT... looks great.. just need to use it more often (which basically means once every 6 months for my car)

Oh wow, you shouldn't be using NXT then. Try something that lasts longer, like a good sealant, like Zaino, Klasse, and there are others. Oh ya and layer.

can u mix wax and sealant like put 1 on top of the other or only can use 1

ZaneO

You can use a carnuaba wax over a sealant if you like. It is usually done to add "depth" to the sealant.

LOL at responses. I park in the middle of a large lot. Definantly not under the oak tress where most of the bird area and all the sap.

Guess Im going to have to try and wax more often. Going to look for something that will provide me with some more protection as well.

I ******* hate when i get **** on my car, last summer i had the t-tops out and parked in front of my house away from the tree and the bird or birds took a **** right in the middle of the t-top like 3 or 4 times but it didn't get on the interior i was pretty lucky.

rgaynor85

3 tbsp baking soda in 1 pint of warm water. rub that on the area to neutralize the acid in the bird ****.
