Worst Bird Bomb in history....

Im a car wholesaler and i just bought a 2004 grand cherokee at auction with a huge dried birb "bomb" on the hood. I have been detailing cars for over 15 years and have never encountered anything like this.



Here was my approach...



1st- Megs APC soaked for 5 min, rub and powerwash off. NOTHING

2nd- Megs Body solvant soak for 5 min powerwash off. NOTHING

3nd- Claybar- got some of the birds "run off", but nothing at the point of impact

4th- Soaked in APC and scrubbed with wheel brush. NOTHING



ANY IDEAS? Sorry i dont have any pics.
 
Wow, that's bad. I had a huge bomb on my car last month, and it sat in the 113 degree heat all day. It was a biatch to get off, and left some marring even with microfibers, and tons of Spray&Wipe.
 
Wow, if this bird bomb is as bad as you say, I'm really interested in a picture.



Anyway, for me, my car was attached by birds 2 weeks ago with over 15 bombs. So using spray and wipe as soon as possible and my mixture of ONR spray helped. My mixture is detailer strength and I just spray away as it until it goes away and wiped using a microfiber.



Of course, having a good layer of carnauba to be sacrificed helped.

Brandon, I've heard of old timers using the Baking Soda Paste method via rotary to remove severe oxidation....which I assumed was on single stage paint.

Ever heard of this?



Just curious.....

There was a thread awhile back about a member wanting to do an old school polish session on a hood. He got a old buffer, a wool pad, and some baking soda to remove oxidation. Finished off with good old #16

Interesting.......is this effective on both SS and CC?
 
Wet sand with 2000 grit, and then polish accordingly. Acid in the bird droppings probably damaged the clear coat so be cautious with how deep you wet sand.
 
This is not the etching left over. Its the actual bird droppings itself. Soaking a towel in strong degreaser and letting it sit has allowed me to chip away at it a little bit. Im sure there will be etching left over for me to wetsand and polish.



My biggest question is....



What was this bird eating?
 
I'm pretty sure I can one up you.



My friend's house is surrounded by huge trees. One night, his car got raccoon bombed. We were on the patio when it happened, and it sounded like someone had dropped a rotten pumpkin onto his car from a good 20 feet up. It was positively disgusting.
