Bird Sh*t problem!!!! HELP!!!

Try a stonger polymer like Griot's Paint Sealant and keep it maintained with Prima Hydro.

Btw, not sure the grit # on that compound you are using but be careful you don't burn through the clear.

When etched I use ScratchX and a kiwi shoe polish applicator pad (has a red handle). Its a firm foam so keeps the product at the top and works great for spot applications.

if that's not enough I pull out my smaller random orbital (3") and use the same ScratchX.

Thanks will give it a try.

The Ultimate Compound is a non abrasive and i believe less aggressive than the scratch x.

Have you had any bird crap on yours? It is absolutely amazing how fast the crap acts on the finish....it is something i have never seen before and i have owned about 18 different cars, old and new.

when i bought my car there was one area where i suspect bird crap etched
the surface of the paint while it was sitting at the dealer's lot.

i was able to get it off using a mild polish (Griot's Polish3) and my 6" random orbital. on my hobby cars i use Griot's system and on my dd's i use Prima.

bird crap etching rate depends on wat the bird ate. i recommend you
remove birdcrap just as soon as you can... 1-2days can be enough to etch
through the clear. sometimes it can take more like a week depending on
how acidic the crap was.

there are two things i hate as a car guy...

birds and bicycle riders (who do not yield to traffic).
