Bird bombs And Cleaning only one MF towel

Well where I work and where I live, Birds droppings and Sap love to fall on my car. I believe one on the window and trim is bird droppings, and what would be the best way to get it off. I tried to use a quick detailer on it, but no luck.

Also I used a MF to wipe up some sap, how should I wash it? I'm not going to just throw one MF towel in the washing machine and use all that water just for one. What do you suggest?

Also picture 5 is just what I'm against with on the rest of the car






Any help would be appreciated!

 

I've had great success of removing bird bombs with my normal traditional wash.

As for your MF, I'd just wait until you have enough dirty MFs to do a load in the washer.

 

The key to both is quick removal. The acid in the bird shit will eat your clear if it sits. I keep a spray bottle of ONR QD in my car with an mf for dealing with those situations. If it's etched into the paint already, compounding is your way to go.

 

Thanks guys! Yeah, I keep QD and an MF in my car now after coming to this site.

Is a compound fine on the rubber trim? And if so, any recommendations?

 

Too heavy for rubber trim, you could try some Diamondite or wolfgang lense compound for plastics, of even plexis may work depending on the condition. I wouldn't go much farther than a polish for plartic, start with a finishing and work your way down until you find something that works.

 

so there won't be a problem leaving that sap on the microfiber for a week?

 

Either wash the towel by hand or wait until you have enough. If you are really worried let it soak in a bucket until you can wash it with a bigger load.

 

I would pick up some real cheap mf like from CG for this type of duty. This way, if they get screwed up you can toss them and not be losing a lot of money. You can get cheap mf's for a buck or two a piece. I use them for cleaning wheels and stuff like you mentioned. When they are too dirty and don't come clean I toss them.

 

wow...lets work on those swirls and forget about the sap stains.

well like one member said you need to compound, polish, and finish.

where are you located because I think you'd be SO happy if you let a professional do a full paint correction on that 3 series. swirls would be gone as well as spots and stains...paint will look new and you have a sweet coat of wax too! you need to NOT wipe with a MF if it is dry because unless you JUST washed it ibecause t will put swirls in the clearcoat because it will rub the surface dirt and dust right into the clearcoat. just wash your car once a week, and stop paring under trees. Its work and effort, but then again so is anything that you ACHIEVE (such as a nice paint finish)

 

yeah it would be good but car obviously isn't being taken care of properly so a run through a car wash is just gonna put those swirls right back

 

Sorry guys never receive notification of the last two posts. Don't worry guys, the paint will be taken care of, I received the car less than a year ago and the car was like that when I purchased it. I bought all of the tools needed to get this car looking like it should.

Not parking near trees at my current house is impossible as there are trees everywhere lol That will be changing in less than a year though

Appreciate all the feedback

 

When I have a bird poopie on my paint, I usually spray it down with some water (in a spraybottle), let it sit for a few minutes to loosen it up, then blast it again with water. It usually all comes off just fine, especially since the surface of the paint is nicely waxed/sealed.

 

I cringed when I saw that.

 

I do the same thing except I keep an old MF with spray bottle. Just in case I have to get mad...:mad2:

 

Your telling me! I have to look at it almost everyday. I finally have 2 days off.. today and tomorrow. I work 55+ hours a week, a girlfriend(8+ years) who doesn't live with me since we both moved back to our home town which is $$ and staying at our parents house, and we are saving up for a house. There isn't a lot of extra time or money and that's why I have been on this site to get it fixed. Also some may have noticed as I haven't been on as much as my job has picked up quite a bit so when I get home, spending 8+ hours on my car isn't the first thing I want to do or possible as I have to get early.

If I remember right you can't really polish a car, then drive it around and polish the other half right? I wouldn't mind doing it in sections, but when I get home at night it's already dark so I can't wash it.

I already washed it today, and will be claying it for who knows how much long tonight haha

Tomorrow I will be polishing then sealing/waxing.
