didnt u just answer ur own question? lol

bird droppings got some chemicals that will normally eat the paint

if kena the coat, it will provide some protection but if u leave it there, will have long term effects cause will slowly eat into the coating until the paint

Can we sum it like this?

Our naked body kena birdshit...... leave a scar on our skin....arghhhh...

But if we wear baju.....birdshit kena our baju....baju kena STAIN!

So both ways, ppl still get to see birdshit effect on your car.

So in the end conclusion is wash the birdshit spot immediate once kena....
No matter coating anot....

I think comparison is not fair.
If compare naked paint vs coated paint.
May be we should compare waxed paint vs coated paint.
We could re wax easily, if the bird dropping ate the wax.
But if the coat eaten by the bird dropping, it will be difficult to repair.
Can I say that if you wax regularly , it will be same or even better than do coating?

I asked because u said have to repair. If the need of maintaining the coat still there, I really don't see the value of coating as it's really not cheap.

I previously thought it's as easy as spray water on it to wash away the drops?

i did wax for my old myvi, but wax not last long

Everyone still san si hang talking about maintaining about the car looks wax,coating and what not. 1 year later, malas to even wash the car d

That's why i would said wax every 3 months , and wash car every week, and remove bird dropping immediately when detected

agreed, but i still will wash & wax her myself if i'm free

wash car every week, the wax still can last for longer period?

yes it is, IF u have the coating and IF you clean it right away.

coating ur paint is not exactly meant to defeat bird dropping, its for protection againts UV, scratches, etc.

bird droppings has some kind of acid that eats into almost everything esp paint and so far i havent seen any coating that can prevent that.

not sure about the effects on it after 1-2 days, but u can refer the link here for more info - http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/hot-to...etch-paint.html

You could use those wash & wax product. it will not wash away the wax. Let said if you use dish soap or washing powder , all wax for sure gone

Go to the auto market and get a bottle of turtle wax quick detailer with a microfiber clothe.

i remember my car wash shampoo got the "wax" wording, is that what u mean wash & wax product?

lol only cheap products will have this 2 in 1... doesn't work as advertise, tried few brands b4

after wash & wax, i will apply wax too
use it wash windscreen, i can see the wax effect while rain drop

I am using this now.
Meguiars Wash and Wax

then ok

mine with coating, still disperse water, guess the coating still working


does it work? havent tried this brand wash and wax b4

Hahaha, yes that is what I think too. That's why I am still thinking about whether to do coating or not. Or save the money and spend on respray after a few years. Because scratches from stone chips or whatever sure will kena one, just only a matter of time.

I bought my 003 at bangkok,rm9.00
