I haven`t been here or detailed my cars in years, so I`ve got a lot of catching-up to do.

This week my car was damaged overnight. I believe it was from an animal. We have a good amount of geese, wild turkeys, feral cats, etc. in the area and I`m pretty sure that`s what marred up my car. I can mostly rule-out vandalism. I`ve attached a few pics.

The car is a 2017 Honda Civic that has been on the road for 12 months. The only work I did to it was clay and F11 it when I got it. Since then it`s just been washed every few weeks in an automatic wash.

I have a PC but the pads/products I have haven`t been used in a decade and will be replaced.

If anyone can point me to some threads that may address options, that`d be great! In the meantime, I`ll be wading through all the info here.

Thanks in advance!

Turkeys?? Maybe. Please see this thread if this applies to you:

To keep crows away from corn rows I used to put up a string line with pie plates on it. You do need a little wind though or instead of pie plates maybe some thin ribbon or streamers. A place like Michaels will have it. If something is moving by your car it might be worth a try. That’s all I can think of.

Wish I could help you out there man but I am like the worlds worst( forums worst actually ) at forum searches-
Looks like your going to need some pretty heavy compound and a fairly stiff/coarse pad or micro fiber. Maybe even some wetsanding to make it perfect. Hard to really say though with out an in person look

Lotsa good folks on here will chime in for you though
