Protecting your paint job from bird droppings
Bird droppings can greatly damage your paint job if corrective action isn't taken quickly . Birds excrete uric acid which, if left for any length of time can ruin your clear coat finish. Not all of our paint jobs offer clear coats. Our Plus 1, 2 and 3 paint jobs have the clear coat mixed in. These paint jobs are called single stage paint jobs.
These paint jobs offer you more protection against bird droppings but you must still do your best to protect your car's finish. Applying a coat of wax to your car's paint job will help protect you against bird droppings. This should be done at least twice a year. You may want to do it quarterly if your paint job is a basecoat/clearcoat.
Our Plus 4 paint job is a basecoat/clearcoat. This simply means that we apply a dull, color coat of paint and then apply a clear coat over the dull color coat to bring out depth and luster. This is the same system that all new cars have.
If you get bird droppings on your paint job...and you will. Remove them as quickly as possible so the uric acid doesn't bake in the hot sun. If you see a small dull area under the dropping try rubbing some car polish on the area and blend it into the rest of the paint job.
Of, course a garage, car port or car cover is the best way to prevent bird droppings. But even taking these measures won't give you 24 -hour protection.
