How to Repair Bird Poop Etching Damage - The Video!
 

In this video, I actually experience bird poop etching damage on a unprotected panel. I go through the same process that I did in my first video on this subject and repair the damage.

The main thing that you should take from this video is the importance of clay in the process of removing this damage as well as the importance of addressing this damage very quickly. Etching begins immediately once any undesirable substance lands on your clear coat or paint and the longer that you wait before addressing it, the harder it will be to remove. Hard water stains, tree sap and bird droppings are the most wicked of substances to leave on your clear coat or paint, especially if your clear coat or paint is not swirl free. If your clear coat or paint is swirled up, then the etching damage will penetrate twice as fast and become more permanent much quicker.

Clay pulls the etching damage out of the clear coat or paint WITHOUT removing any clear coat provided you are using the lightest type of clay, which I refer to as consumer grade clay. That's why you always start with clay first. The object is to remove as much of the damage as possible first, so that you don't have to remove as much clear coat or paint. After all, there is only so much clear coat and paint on your car.

for the love of god who ever watches this, DO NOT CLAY UP, DOWN, THEN LEFT RIGHT, only go one direction

Nice. Thanks for the up.

And what difference does it make??? The marring buffs out with little effort, if any marring happens at all. The direction that you clay in has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

your choice, not gonna go in a debate about it, you will get swirl marks, do your research and you will see

LOL! No, YOU answer the question. I have been fixing paint for years and how to use clay is something that I can teach in my sleep. Now if you have the slightest clue as to what you're talking about, post your scientific reason. If not, leave it alone because your claim has no merit. You are the one who needs to educate yourself on what claying does. Claying can cause marring if you clay hard enough (which I do on occasion), but as you SAW in this video, it was MINOR and easily fixed.

I don't expect you to debate me on this as my work and ability speaks volumes for what I know concerning paint work. Maybe you should review some of my work before responding.

Good to see you posting here again junkman
I have been looking for new videos on
YouTube and seen this.
Post more when you can I enjoy them.

I've got a few videos out right now with a lot more to come. They will feature a plethora of different products including some that are very affordable. Since a lot of starving college students want to do this but can't afford the more pricey stuff (which I'm being told has gotten even pricier), they will enjoy what I have coming up.
