Hey folks. I did some searching but nothing that quite seemed to fit this situation, so a little background...
My wife`s `12 VW CC (black) has been hit by bird droppings 3 times (the first being right after I finished a detail w/ Poorboys EX-P for final step). The first two I couldn`t get to for, we`ll call it 3 days. I was very surprised to see that they had already etched through the clearcoat. I don`t have pictures available, but it`s a dull mark of the entire poop, I`m sure you`ve seen it before). The third, the poop was on the car for MAYBE an hour. I immediately sprayed and wiped away. Still, there was an etching.
I did try to get the first couple etchings out using my DA and (up to) PB`s 2.5, but started to get worried about damaging the clearcoat further after so many attempts so I gave up.
Does this sound like some type of clearcoat failure to you? I have never seen this happen so quickly, even on our previous black car. At this rate, the car will be covered in these spots in a couple of years.
Any advice/thoughts/suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!!!!
