bird poop deep etching in paint

bimmer_stud · 10-05-2023, 03:38 PM

I've got a deep bird poop etching on the car from what appears to be dried up baked bird poop. tried sanding it down with 2k then 1.5k grit sand paper, maybe improved it 20% but didnt nearly fix it. I dont wanna do any damage to paint but i (wet) sanded it for about 10-15 mins with light pressure and that didnt do it. Also tried polishing compound etc- it didnt do much.

Any other suggestions on how I can get this fixed?

Sorry this isnt helpful but how long was that sitting on your paint?

Cant be sure but could've been months. Car was basically parked/not driven during covid lockdown and sat in sun.
