okay so i realize theres a general "detailing" section of acurazine that i can probably go to to find great answers...but lately ive felt the need to stay closer to home with the first gens when asking about stuff. but........

BIRD POOP ETCHING STAINS. man i didnt even wait that long. i got it during the night time and when i woke up in the morning it was there..fucking geese...it was huge...anyway i watched the most of it off, used a clay bar after (for like an hour) and was able to get most of it off. but theres still the etching. im so pissed

my obvious road would be to wet sand with a fine grit (what do you guys recommend) and then polish. BUT. i dont have a buffer...or atleast a legit one (porter cable or any of those crazy dual speed ones). plus id rather do stuff by hand anyway for fear of messin up my clear any further. anyway..how have you guys dealt with this. do any of you have any methods by hand i can try? or maybe a method that doesnt require wet sanding? its been about almost a week and im afraid the etching is just gonna keep eating at my paint.

thank you in advance

 

Didn't you just have it painted? I would hit up a detailer or body shop if you don't have a buffer, definitely going to need some paint correction.

 

YEAH I DID......omg bro seriously let me tell you....

i went to sleep at 5:00 in the morning cause i was workin on the car....i WOKE UP AT 8 TO GO TO WORK....and BAMM!!!!...fuckin big ass geese poop on my hood....and it has to have been there for atleast 3 hours cause it was already dry. i washed it off and used that waterspot remover from megs cause it was the least harsh stuff i had. i got a lot of the etch off but you can see it still..

GAAAAAAHHHHH

im just gonna bite the bullet and sand...i picked up a porter cable and some m205....i shud be good right?

 

Wetsand, very fine grit, definitely going to have to buff those scratches out after

 

pics?

 

i havent done it yet cause i just got my chemical guys orange pad and white pad in friday. also ordered v36 as well as m205. also got my porter cable in and that thing is friggin heavy hahaha. ill post pics when i do it sometime this week. i also have to polish my trunk top cause i just realized it was a little dull. well not bad but its a little less shinny than the rest of the car.

 

 

Full coverage insurance and a brick. Bam! Problem solved.
On a serious note, maybe some #000 steel wool and purple stuff?That's what I use to remove old glue from the inside of a back window after I take old tint off(not purple stuff tho I use an ammonia based cleaner to remove the glue). The #000 steel wool won't scratch the glass. By the way that's called triple zero or "triple aught" steel wool. Don't go in and ask for hashtag triple 0 steel wool. You may get laughed at.
