bird poops under the sun, what to do?

[kai s.]

Open parking din kami sa office.

Pagdating ko sa kotse, I spray Microtex Nanosliq (I find this product very effective as QD for spot cleaning like this) on the dried bird poop then I wait 5-30 seconds. Then I wipe off very carefully with soft facial tissue, almost no pressure needed kasi napalambot na nung Nanosliq.

90php lang yun sa Ace

Question though, paanong natuklap yung pintura? May photo ka?

Bird droppings are acidic.

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

sir,
factory paint pa po auto ko..
lagpas 1 year pa lng..

Hard to believe that a factory paint that's about a year old will easily get damaged by bird poop ...

yes it will do that...

As I said earlier, bird droppings are acidic. This is why most car manufacturers that have open storage yards use auto wrap surface protection tape. Its that white plastic sheet that covers almost all horizontal painted surfaces of the car body.

These are removed during vehicle delivery preparation at the dealer level.

We wax the cars to protect the paint. Some even use boat wax...

I use collinite. Isn't that boat wax?

Some are acidic

Some are not, but is a pain to remove. I once had the misfortune of parking overnight under a kalachuchi tree, kina-umagahan napuno ng tree sap ang hood and wind shield ng pick-up ko.

I had to do a wipe down of kerosene, just to remove it.

It can happen bro... sa unit ko 6 months pa lang nadisgrasya yung isang spot sa hood ng rooster poop.
Pagkatapos hugasan sa car wash may crack na yung paint
