I noticed when detailing my new Z for the first time that it came with 3 harsh bird poo etches....one on the hatch....one on the roof of the car....and one on the hood.

I used my Meguiars polishing compound on all 3 areas and had limited success in removing them. I was frustrated and disappointed...until I watched your bird poo etching removal video. Armed with this knowledge, I'm now ready to try again and be successful this time.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us. I wicked LOVE your mantra....I'll charge you Jay Leno money to do it FOR it you....but...I'll TEACH you how to do it for free.

Nicely done!!

You know what they say, "Teach a man to fish..."

When it comes to detailing, prevention is the secret to your success. Make sure you set your paint up for success by fixing it first and then protecting it second. From that point forward, it should be smooth sailing.

Yeah....I think the car sat on the lot in Lawton, OK for awhile before I bought it...that etching on the hatch is pretty severe. The other two aren't quite as severe. Nothing like being behind the 8 ball on a brand new car, right?

I've watched a lot of your videos today and feel better armed with knowledge now to go do the complete job RIGHT....so thanks!

Keep in mind that more aggressive measures may be necessary to completely fix the issues. I'm not recommending that you try any of them, just letting you know that sometimes that is necessary.
