  • Baked in Bird Poop

    I am a weekend warrior who occasionally detail friend's cars.
    However, my car is pretty well maintained with weekly washes and all the stains I've come across thus far came off with ease.

    Now to the meat of this thread... this past weekend I did a quick wash, clay and wax on a friend's conversion van and on the rims, found a nasty bird bomb that has been pretty much baked in and it looks like its been there for months! I initially went after it with Megs Hot Rims All Wheel and Tire cleaner and the wheels looked great except, the bird bomb was still there. I then applied fine grade clay.... only made a small dent. I tried leaving a wet towel on it to rehydrate for about 30 minutes.... that stubborn sucker laughed at me and said NO THANK YOU! This is clear coated wheels so my question is any recommendation on product to make this easier? That bird poop has been on my mind ever since and it has been annoying me.

    Do you mean that there are still pieces of it on there, or the stain/etching is still there?

        Scrub it off. Brush it until its gone

          To be honest, I did not take the aggressive route because 1. I was pressed for time as I had to wash, clay and wax this bad boy in 2 hrs with a little help and 2. I did not want to polish the wheel after taking an aggressive approach.
          I guess I will need to roll up the sleeves, pull out the APC at full strength and go to town.

          Also... I opened up my closet this morning and saw a bottle of Tarn-X


          Is this worth a shot or avoid at all costs on clear coated wheels?
