Bird ****!!

I was out of the country for three months and my car was unfortunately not garaged kept. The bird **** that got on my hood went right through the clear coat. Is there anything I can do besides get it painted.

ya only thing can be done is maybe touch it up (don't know how good it would look) or just get the area repainted. When i bought my evo there was another one that just came in and the previous owner let bird sh*t bake in the sun for a few days and messed up the hood and roof. Kinda ashame

I had a bird crap on my old car and when I tried to wipe it off the next day with some quick detailer it scratched up the paint.

Soak the crap out of the bird **** so that it becomes soft enough to wash off other wise it will further scratch the paint.

A neighbor of mine keeps mentioning something called a Teflon Paint sealer/protection. Research it or similar products. I think that can be used similar to clear coating.

I've had that problem twice in the last month on my MR I had one big *** bird **** on the pass door that left 3 big, long drips that ate through the clearcoat. I was able to clean it with some glazing compound but it must have just cleaned out the rest of the crap because the 3 spots came back. Then the other day I got another small spot on my hood where it ate through. I'm sure it doesn't help that Mitsu has terrible paint in the first place but this is ridiculous
