Bird Crap stains

tcn2k · #1 06-27-2006, 02:47 PM

I have a black x5 and a bird left his crap on today. After wiping off the crap, the stain was still visible. I tried Turtle tar remove for clearcoat but it didn't work. Anyone suggest a product to remove bird stains from a black surface car?

Bird poop ruined my previous car paint. Nothing worked.

However, I heard scratch-x Works.

Bird droppings are very caustic and will etch your paint in a very short time. You'll likely never completely remove the scar, but you can hit it with some Meguiars Scratch-X (WalMart), then a coat of filler glaze (ditto), then a good topcoat of pure carnuaba wax. Going forward, if you find droppings on your paint, try to rinse them off as soon as possible or carry a bottle of spray detailer and a 100% cotton cloth to remove them from the paint. Never rub bird poop in trying to remove it; it contains fine-grain particles that will scratch your paint. Instead, lightly lift and remove the material from your paint with the spray detailer and the cloth. Sounds like a pain, but it beats etched paint. Good luck!

I had the same problem, did all the right treatment, warm water, tissue etc still had the stain tried everything to remove it with no luck. (Carbon Black)
I then spoke to a BMW valeter he used 3M 'finesse it', and it worked a treat got right into the lime and removed the stain completely. I use it for all my birdshit needs now!

I dont know where you are but I suggest starting with the 3M website, see if they list dealers or have an online shop.

I got mine from UK. from a trade supplier direct.

I have the same problem, but I took it to the Ziebart and have it applied Diamond Gloss..It is probably the best thing against bird droppings and wet.300usd thing in Turkey .Each year 150usd for reapply and lifetime warranty..Check it if you like...

Thats a bit pricey for what it is. 3M will cost you about $15 for a litre.
