To make a long story short, I was unfortunate enough to get hit in my brand new Camaro a month after driving it off the lot. They replaced my front bumper cover and painted it. They did a great job, however there is still some evidence of sanding. Also, I was told not to wax it for 60 days to let the paint breathe/cure properly. I know that I can polish it to add at least some protection until I can get a coat of Buttery on it. So, what would you guys recommend? Start with SHR and then hit it with a Revive Polish? Which is the least aggressive Adam's product, up to the most, in terms of polishing? The beast is black, by the way (yes, I am a perfectionist and I'm up to the challenge - its my 3rd black car).

Thanks!

Bird droppings = acid, and left sitting for any period of time will etch into the clear coat unless cleaned ASAP.......I carry a bottle of alcohol and water mix with me when out and about

 

The birds must have it in for you.......as for protection,you might have a use a cover:(

Seriously, I try to park away from trees and do whatever I can but I can't get away from the bird crap. So not even the Americana or Machine Wax can offer protection against etching?

I use the detail spray and microfiber towel to remove the bomb as soon as I notice it, but I'm asking what I can do to prevent etching from occurring, because pretty much every bomb leaves an etch mark. Is it possible that the mark actually isn't affecting the clear/paint and that the mark is in the coat of wax?

Either that or you need to the clay the spot and that should get rid of it. Aldo it is good to detail spray so you can clean it off the car when it happens.

I didn't know that claying was effective on etch marks since the clear is actually damaged.

Need to keep a QD handy.

QD?

What would be the best way to protect from bird bomb etching? I applied two coats of the Buttery Wax, however I am still getting etch marks. Also, would the Swirl and Haze Remover be effective in removing existing etch marks?
