[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 10150, member: 113"] Be careful of bird shit.Got a bullseye on my bonnet the other day. Took out the Quick Detailer and a tissue, thinking it would be a simple job.Unfortunately, the engine hood reaches bakery oven temperatures and the offending deposit has been cooked to a stubborn blight upon the paintwork. And in the process of removing said deposit, an unsightly set of lines were left behind.Birdshit 1, QD and tissue 0.So, the lesson is, either never leave a bird shit to dry on your car, or don't attack it with QD and tissue.So, despite the 9th Emperor rainy season, sent the car to Alex of Magicglaze for a touch up.
