    why birds poo is so acidic to our clear coat?
    It's important that you remove a bird dropping off your car's finish as fast as you can ... Birds pass their urine into a common chamber used for digestive and urinary wastes. ... So, when a bird lets go with a "bomb" it contains white uric acid crystals ... This type of etching can be removed using a clear coat safe ...

    Begin with wash - Optimum car shampoo, assisted by OPC
    Clay with ONR as lube
    Compound Meguairs M101 with Meguairs cutting Foam pad
    finish with polish M205 with Meguairs polish foam pads
    IPA
    Opti coat - body & plastic panel
    Opti glass for windscreen
    Opti Lense for head lamp






    when you shine your Halogen lamp ontoyour paints you will always see what beyond yourbare naked eyes can see

    light is themost vital tools of correction beside your rotary/DA/Correction tools


    i remembered i done more than just that

    finally I managed to scooped up some pictures i had in the other camera

    i had this ride for almost 36 hours to get her corrected

    always begin from wheels
