    LOL... OK, they are coming.

    OK, the bird poo was down the C pillar in a diagonal streak about a foot long. These are all after it was fixed and cleaned:





    Some other pics:







    The polish on the black plastic is my fault on that one, gotta use some WD40 apparently to get it off.

    Swallowtail - I'm glad your happy with the work, I just stumbled onto this forum and found this thread on a google search page believe it or not. Any way I'll have to add it to the collection and try to pop in from time to time. I've noticed a few familiar names already.... So hi.

    For those that want to know what we did this was the process
    The etching on the boot was actually fairly deep in one spot and although no sanding was needed I did end up reaching for the 3M fast cut plus and a fairly hard cutting pad in fact the orange festool pad this still required 3 passes to remove probably 95% then we stepped it back down with menzerna 3.01 and a whitefestool pad then menzerna 85RD and the festool black pad.

    I love the pic of the rims just love when the backs are clean and glad you liked the inside of the exhaust tips. Lol

    you have a real nice car swallowtail just need to watch the plastics when polishing otherwise it's perfect.

    Well done

    chris

    Excellent job, thoroughly recommend him - nice bloke too. The damage was only fairly light fortunately, so a buff off the clearcoat down a bit and it's come up fine.
    how much did you pay for fixing it? I have the same problem

    aftermarket paint protection can increase the time you have before removing bird poop...still recomend getting it off ASAP or at least within 48 hrs max!

    A proper paint protection routine will help. Doesn't have to be a dealer special, but time is still of the essence.
