why are you claying with wax? wax is not supposed to clean bird poop.

what clay are you using anyway? sounds like the clay is not doing its job. you should not waste your clear coat for bird poop by compounding/polishing them :/
*
not professional in this sad.gif

using clay from P&g.. but guess the stain was really sticked under the clear coat..

tried with some wax/ polish cream with pressure but still there.. icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

Polish didn't work? Compound should work. Just a small spot, I don't think it will harm the paint that much.

Speaking from experience ...  sweat.gif

yea consider that too tongue.gif

still searching if any alternative, some say sanding but abit complicated


QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Jun 12 2013, 11:20 AM)
no need pro la.

it's clear that PG clay suck. (read back some pages i remember there are people commented about it, or was it v1 thread? iinm mywifecar used and commented before)
again, try using car shampoo as clay lube, with 1:1 or 1:2 shampoo:water dilution (at least also some decent shampoo, like kura kura f21 or osren/duragloss lol)

do not use wax/polish cream for bird droppings, and most certainly do not apply pressure. if there's one thing in detailing i learn (in a hardway), that is if you're unsure about anything, do NOT apply pressure.
*
oh bro, speaks that aside, i got myself the liquid wax months ago from tw,

do not apply with pressure also? i mean when cleaning.. as noticed that if no pressure, residue will leave over there..

just try the steps i mentioned, and use water rinse off and dry whatever water that's left.

and again, don't need wax.
wax is AFTER you're done removing that bird dropping.
*
okay bro smile.gif

but what i mean was that on normal liquid wax process (assume there's no bird poop anymore) tongue.gif

as instruction was that :
1. apply on and wait 1 minit
2. wipe with cloth

on step 2, do i need to wipe with pressure? as i notice if normal wipe the wax residue will be still there

sorry if i confused u laugh.gif

this?
http://www.turtlewax.com/product-detail.as...id=42&prodid=44

dry to haze only, no need wait a minute. considering our malaysian hot weather and assuming you're doing this daytime, it takes around/less than a minute to haze. by the time you're done on the 2nd panel the first would be hazed up already.

you can apply light pressure, remove residue, and flip another clean/cleaner side to buff to a shine. if you're not used to flipping/folding cloth, have 2 MF cloths then: 1 to remove excess wax, the other for a shining buff.

if it still leaves wax residue or buffing off is hard (TW hard shell basic wax tends to do that), you may consider having a spray bottle beside with water or as i mentioned with the dual cloth, have the 1st cloth slightly damp and that will ease on removing residues smile.gif

neh:
- Fold and quarter the microfiber cloth, using one side to remove wax from the car’s finish. Turn cloth over and wipe to a high gloss shine.
- If necessary, use a damp microfiber towel to remove excess wax and buff lightly with a dry microfiber towel.


oh my god he said polish...

i really hate TW naming/terms lol

(LOL The top comment on that youtube)

After reading about the stuffs that he tried, it doesn't sound like any 'normal' poop. Anyway, the colour do look like rust....a 'heavy metal' birdie...???!!!

@sakurazz, how does the surface on that particular area feels like? Or, better still, you know anybody who has those 30X handheld microscope or something similar....?
*
Don't have bro,

To be more precise it looks yellowish..

Doesn't seems like bird poop too, just went back to the place I park and find out again..

It was like some sort of seedlings..

Anyway I had tried 'compounding', still fails and decided to send in for minor part sanding..

yea feel-able lol. the paint "popped'out

took it back to service center and my guess is that they touch up the affected area.
cause I see holograms on that area. sayang la its a new car, just 2 months.

ya your case a bit weird, I think normal cases polish/compound can easily remove the stain right.
I normally just wash off bird poo stains with car wash shampoo  sweat.gif

thats the problem bro,

shall not be bird poop.. maybe some evolved bird.. LOL

should be tree seedlings which those jatuh and pecah and looks like bird poops..

mine also 2 months old ><
