Mikemomd Posted May 4, 2013 Report Posted May 4, 2013 Yesterday, I had my Dodge parked where I thought it would be safe for a couple of hours only to find I had been bombed twice by bird droppings "laced" with blackberries [ could've been blueberries...no difference in effect ]. I washed it off immediately only to have very obvious blue stains on my Panama Sand painted body. I tried bug and tar remover with no success. This morning, I was able to remove the stains completely using a polishing pad dampened with water mixed with a small amount of car wash detergent and Mequiar's #2 Fine Cut cleaner. I applied while the areas were wet, used very little hand pressure doing it by hand and only hit the areas of stains. I washed the areas off again and waxed them. Not a trace behind........

Plymouthy Adams Posted May 4, 2013 Report Posted May 4, 2013 too early for black berries..bet they could have been polk berries though....I often get similar stains on my paint from pecan tree leaves..they notorious for that...why it stays in the garage 98.375% of the time 1 Quote
Don Coatney Posted May 4, 2013 Report Posted May 4, 2013 Did it look like a Z-10 or a Q-10? You might want to report this to Research in Motion Limited as they may not be aware of such droppings and you might have some recourse for litigation. 1 Quote

randroid Posted May 4, 2013 Report Posted May 4, 2013 Mike, Thanks for the tip. Glad you had to do the experimentation instead of me, lol. Plym, Are you sure you got the right fraction? -Randy Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 4, 2013 Report Posted May 4, 2013 yessir...put many hours into this study.... if it had been armadillos..you would see claw marks similar to what maybe a bear cub would leave behind..these are some right powerful dirt diggers.. Quote
