Had quite a bad week with the birds deciding to use my car as target practise with some particularly stubbon deposits to be removed. Used QD and an MF to remove, followed by another clean MF cloth to wipe down.
Then yesterday, in preparation for a holiday to North Wales next week, I decided to give the car a full wash (the usual - snow foam, wheels, 2 bucket, dry). My 2 year old (next week) was running about so I let her hold the hose when I was doing the final rinse...
she thought it was highly amusing and was laughing her little head off!
Afterwards we went to a shopping centre, and under the lights in the multi-storey, when walking away from the car, I noticed this on the rear passenger door (photo taken today)...
So looks like I rubbed a bit hard removing the bird poo and have scratched it a bit (difficult to see scratches in photo)
, and there's still a mark there as well! They are only very light scratches and don't catch with my nail, so fully expect it to polish out.
Am tempted to have a go at this by hand tonight when I get home. I am thinking of the following process...wash the panel again with shampoo (no snow foam stage as I won't have time to do the whole car) and dry before using a bit of SSR2.5 (only polish I have to hand) and apply with light pressure using wo-wo applicators. Then rinse off and wash panel again. Then rinse and dry followed by a top up of c2v3. The whole car probably wants doing again with c2v3 (last done in march I think) really but I won't have time for this.
After that if there's time, I might do a quick snow foam of the whole car followed by rinse and dry. The interior needs a bit of a clean, so this will take priority over the snow foam.
