Hi All,

I just got about 10 seagull turds on my car at work, washed it off within 2 hours but the damage was already done. I used a pressure washer to clean all the crap off but the 'residue' left over is stuck on the paint! Colour is a dark blue and had a full respray about 1 month ago.. :)

What's the best way to remove the residue/stains? Any help appreciated

Cheers,

The 'residue' doesn't come off with a pressure washer or sponge & detergent but it feels like it is sitting on the paint, not eating through.. i thought bug & tar remover was very harsh on the paint??

claybar

will remove anything sitting on the paint

So WD-40 is like a cure all? Like Windex in My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Spilt silicon, get WD-40, have a cold, get WD-40, get hit by a car, get WD-40. Its a mirricle formular!!

And thats the end of my randomness for today!

seriously try windex as i find it work really well to get bird crap off the paint

Claybar is good but I just didnt wanna throw the idea around to someone who has never used it. If it scratches the paint I dont want to be reponsible for fixing it!

Bug & Tar remover isnt harsh on the paint. A good polish after ad you'll be sweet...

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!

      I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.

      It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it

      More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in
