Topic: Bird Bombs

[CanuckG35]

Came outside this afternoon to a nice surprise on my S2000.  I don't think it was a bird that did this, more like a freakin' pterodactyl!!!   

I wiped it off with Poorboys Spray & Wipe and an MF towel, but there was still a large part that was etched into the paint.  I got out the clay bar and used that but it was still etched into the paint.  I actually had to remove it by getting out my Flex and a light abrasive polish.  Any time you get bird bombs on your paint, definitely remove them immediately.

Here's a picture of the suspect.

I was actually thinking more along the lines of this.

I don't think geese poop in flight.  Geese poop is usually greenish.   Could be a seagull or robin.   I had same type of splatter on my silver Honda.  I haven't noticed any etching in the paint after a few days.

Probably a bird of sorts - that still sucks though!

I had some bird droppings on my car that sat for a couple weeks and it looks like they've etched the paint... looks like its time for some wetsanding

HAHA... man oh man... if the birds got shot by that, that's the last round of bird droppings you'd see on your vehicle thats for sure!!!

Came back to my car yesterday at the TTC, you would've thought I parked at Pearl Harbour! I wondered how long that was baking on my paint. It didn't etch into the paint though. I took it to a car wash. Once that stuff hits your car, heats up and cools down it'll do some damage. Thank goodness for wax.
