Bird Cr@p Removal
10 Attachment(s)
One of the problems of living near the sea is the frequency of ****ehawk attacks. As bird cr@p contains uric acid unless you get to it quick, it burns into the gel coat. I was too late getting to one on the drivers door and despite giving a good going at with the DA polisher with Fareclas G3/G10 two weeks ago it was still there. So today i resorted to good ol' wet and dry. Gentle rubbing with some 3000 grade got rid of most of the mark (and some of the gel coat!) before some G3 using a small hand pad, followed by some G10 applied in similar fashion. Some Poorboys Black Hole glaze and Natty's paste wax and all was good. +++
Photo 0292 shows the mark although its hard to see in the reflected light. 0302 shows the end result. |
Good going! +++

Apparently they eat grit and sand to aid digestion so you have to be really careful even with fresh ****e removal
I use extra deep pile microfibre towels after a blast or two of quick detailer |

Good result:love: not sure I would have the confidence to hit it with the wet & dry:D

Here's a tip, best way to remove it initially is sparkling water, the carbonation reacts and bubbles it up and off naturally removing any grit
I always keep a small 35cl bottle in the car |
Top tips! The 12 gauge would work on dogs and cats in the garden too!!
Brian: If you want to bring your '8 around we could all have some practice at wet&dry techniques;). John (47P2) did his RangeRover all over and it didnt ccome out too bad. |
