I just noticed that there was this ginormous piece of bird shat on my roof this morning and when I removed it with the 1Z bug and tar remover it left some white spots right where the shat was. This is after I have just PP, MP , FP and AIO with 3x coats of Sg over three weeks. I was just going to top with Carnuba wednesday but now I dont know what to do. Should i just SG over it and hope it goes away? AIO the spot and just single coat the SG before topping? please help!
 
SG by itself is nothing but a sealant, no cleaners of any kind, so adding it will not remove the spots. I would try washing that area real good again first to see if I could remove them, If not I would apply AIO to see if that takes care of it, working with something stronger each time until the spots are gone, then work in reverse to get back to applying SG, as many layers of SG as you wish. Waiting at least 12 hr's between applications. Then at least 24hrs if not a week before applying a wax on top of SG. I'm no expert but reading alot about the Klasse twins and doing my car recently has me pretty up to speed for the moment. If anyone has something more to add or something different, please by all means. Good luck Mr Big Bass. Let us know what you did, when your done. Don't forget the pics dude. :xyxthumbs
 
Yeah, wash it and see if you can get it with just a very gentle claying. If that doesn't work, try the AIO before you resort to repolishing. Then repeat the process back to layering SG. You'd be pretty unlucky if it ate through the three coats of SG, but you never know.
 
We will find out tomorrow gents. Thanks for the replies. Accumulator you are the best... for some reason you have responded to every single one of my posts... Thanks!
 
I had bird shat that ate through S100x1 + SGx2 all the way to the paint (etched it real bad). I dunno if that would be the case if I used another LSP.
 
~ One man’s opinion / observations ~



It’s been my experience that no wax or polymer sealant can provide a permanent shield against acidic bird excrement; but they should provide enough of a barrier to enable it to be removed quickly before causing too much damage to the paint film surface.



There have been (too many) times, usually just after I’ve spent hours detailing, I go inside put the supplies away and clean up and then go admire my handiwork and there it is in the dead centre of the roof (usually seagulls). Sometimes it comes off with water/clay and sometimes there is an etched mark on the roof (most often about the time the owner comes to pick up the vehicle)

IMO you'd get more protection by just adding more SG than by switching to something else. With about six layers on my beaters, nothing's gotten through it yet (several years now and counting).



But if you leave anything acidic/caustic on the paint long enough it'll get through anything (sometimes including the paint itself).



Mr. Big Bass- Yeah, I *do* seem to chime in on your posts, huh? Must have something to do with the issues you raise and how you express yourself.
