Im seriously going to start hunting down every shit bird I see, by shit birds I mean the stupid mutt birds like crows and seagulls, they are even birds, there like rat with wings, they should all be caught together and burned alive, I hate them with a passion.

Annnnyyywayyysss.............

Today my car was parked while I went inside a store to shop, and when I came out, I found a nice surprise on my somewhat fresh painted black roof! :mad:mad

The weather today wasn't sunny or anything, just some very quick sunbreaks, so it didn't even have time to cook.

So I drive to the local self serve car wash to pressure wash it off, and it came off fairly easy, but now that its all dry, it appears to have "stained" the clear coat.

I did a quick cleaner wax, and quick spray and it did help it a little, but its still there.

It looks like you can feel the "impression" if you run your fingers over it, but you cant, its just visual.

Oh, and the paint on the roof is black and it was painted about a good 1.5 months ago, so it should be dry by now, and on top of that, the roof was freshly waxed about 2 weeks ago.

So could it have done any permanent damage? Clay wont help because like I said, you cant feel it. Is the only thing I can do wet sand and then polish?

Suggestions, tips?

Thanks!

Well try polishing before wet sanding then yes, wetsand then polish, i think the clear hasnt become completly hardened yet and is soft, my guess

Im going to try to do this by hand becuase its on a corner by inside the sunroof rectangle, and I dont want to ruin the rubber.

I jsut wetsoaked a piece of 2000 sand paper in warm soapy water, and im going to go attempt to repair this.

And then after, FLY AWAY BIRDS, FLY AWAY!!!:evil2:ak:ak:bigun2

Well its fixed, I guess it was just a little bit of surface staining or something? Basically it looked like a marble stone pattern in a 2 inch diameter circle.

So I wet sanded it a little bit, then I used 3M rubbing compound that repairs 1500 grit and finer swirls, BY HAND, and it looks better then before in direct sunlight even.

I just put a little at a time with a microfiber towel, and in a really rapid motion rubbed it in a circular motion, my hand is really sore but the swirls literally vanished.

Good stuff..............now onto those birds.
