Watch out for the birds
Got a Nasty suprise on Saturday morning 
I noticed a bird had left a message about the size of a Quarter on the Bonnet , so got out the QD and after soaking with water and a touch of Shampoo went and tried to eraze the message . The white stuff came off no problem but left behind a slightly raised bump of dark brown gooey crap about the size of a dime . I tried to remove this with my fingernail and to my horror
off came the clearcoat. It came off better and easier than using paint stripper . 
Now Bruiser has to go to the paint shop to get fixed up .
Heads up Guys and Gals the bird crap was not on the paintwork for any real length of time , but was dryed and this was the result . So Remove A.S.A.P
note::Pictures Taken in the carport . I hope I get such a reflection of the light fitting on Bruisers return from the Doc.

Not really good at all , Bruiser goes in on the 14th and has lightened the wallet by $350-400 ,I decided to have all the little stone chips etc. taken care of as well , all at once.
Bruiser will have been in my care from new , coming up for 1 year on the
16th July it has 19,000 to date (heavy huh )(good Motoring though ).
I went with the Klasse twins with a topper of p21s . I have only ever done 1 coat of the twins but re-plenish the p21s every 2 to 3 months on average . It is my daily driver and now is kept under a carport , where as the first 6 months it was in the open . Its washed every week rain or shine
and is given a once over with the Sonus Carnuba QD after every wash . The last time it was waxed was a little over 3 weeks after the Dragon.It is due to be DAWNED /Light Swirls removed / CLAYED / Re-sealed /Waxed at the 1 year mark ,but may have to hold back a little after the Bonnet re-spray etc.
Little bells are going off !!! Enough Protection ??????? Maybe not, HuH ?,but who can really say . I will be putting slightly more wax coats on this coming year just to make sure .Or jump ship on over to the Zaino camp ..
Anyone want to buy some open Klasse.
