Bird droppings etched clearbra

sparky · 01-13-2013, 01:11 AM

Any ideas on how to get this off? Not sure just what I can use on the clear bra that won't damage it worse.

How long did you let that crap sit there? I talked with my X-Pel guy today and he didn't think it should have eched the film. Maybe stained it, but that should bleach out, after a while (maybe use some Westly's White polish to help).

It was there for the day but was hard to remove. It may be just a stain but I did try a Menzerna fine cut polish on it to no effect. I'll try clay bar to see what that does. Just wasn't sure how aggressive to get on a plastic film. I'll leave it for a while after that and see if it fades.
Thanks for the reply.

Still in CA?

I used aggressive clay bar, and it takes crap out, as for ACTUAL etching... I haven't seen it

UV can do wonders sometimes.
