OK,
Last Saturday, clayed the MINI and applied two coats of Zaino. Sunday, two more coats of Zaino, followed by the Gloss Enhancer. Lookin good! Came out for lunch on Monday, and the car was COVERED in big, green bird poops. I hadn't parked under any trees or wires, so it must have been a "fly by" attack. Luckily, it came right off with a damp towel. Did a touch up with the Gloss Enhancer and it looked just as good as before. On the way home, stuck in 2 mph traffic, a Boxter S owner asked what I had used on the car, it was so shiny.
Clean Again...

Last year I had two separate "fly by" incidents, but it was during work and my MINI was parked outside under the hot summer sun. Yup, the stuff was baked on. After work, as soon as I saw the violation, I cleaned it up. In spite of my best efforts though, the paint (or clear coat) looked badly etched and I was extremely bummed.
Very strange thing happened though. Time passed...and after a few washes...and probably a few shots of quick detailer in between, I suddenly noticed one day after a wash that the mark was gone!! I couldn't find it! Vanished! Now, as I said, this happened of two separate occasions. Isn't that weird?!?!?!?! Any possible explanations?!?!?
(btw, the birds have been kind to me this year.....so far.)

I always keep quick detailer(Einmans Pearl)in the car with a microfiber towel for bird attacks. Don't want it to be on to long. Be careful not to scratch clear coat removing bird stuff.
