    Why Bird Poop Etched on our paint


    "Question: How long does it take for a bird dropping to etch paint?


    Answer: A few minutes." Mike Phillips




    "Remove Bird Dropping Etchings ASAP!
    It's important that you remove a bird dropping off your car's finish as fast as you can before it can cause any damage. Bird droppings contain Uric Acid and Uric Acid is corrosive enough to eat past a coating of wax or paint sealant and then begin to etch your car's paint."

    Many would have asked "I know it's probably futile as the bird poop etching has gone straight through the clearcoat but is there any possible way to reduce the sight of it"?




    so with this in mind his wife took out a tissue paper and begin scrubbing hard with her nail on a caked poo poo

    some would have reckon it should "not polish (by itself) as not able to remove the defect. It will require wet sanding...do not use bare fingers wet sanding automotive paint...period. You must control the sanding with a block and for this you want to use a precision spot "block" with 1500-1800 wet dry use lots of lube (detail spray or clay lube- preferably high quality clay lube)"
