Right after the disaster that was called Mini i just been and picked this up for my daughter.

06 car 1.6 SE FSi auto, i think its auto for her from now on.

Anyway the paint has got what looks like water marks or tree sap on it but no amount of rubbing seems to be getting them out, i cant take a decent picture because im a bit useless, i got these outside the blokes house.

Any ideas at getting these marks out? It almost looks like its in the lacquer, very strange.

Sounds like it might be bird poo burns? If so, only chance is with an orbital polisher and someone who knows what they're doing.
 
I think its too widespread to be bird poo, it seems like the whole bloody car gas got it over it.

Without a better pic it's hard to speculate.

Shes gone out to get it cleaned il have another go later at another of my quality pictures, i cant find the bloody camera so its down to the phone.
 
If it's raised up off the lacquer it's likely to be contaminates which it should be possible to clay/tardis off.

If it's etched' into the lacquer then it does sound like bird-poo or some other contaminate has eaten into it and this can only be repaired with some form of cutting compound, whether it's a polisher or sandpaper the result will be the same.

Either way, it's a lot of work if it's all over the car. Was it parked under a tree for the last four years without being cleaned?

It aint moved much in the last 6 months but it wasnt under a tree.

Iv never seen anything like it.
 
Do you have any good detailer's near you that you can take it along and see what they think. Also don't know if your on it already but head on over to detailingworld.co.uk and put a post up there as the guys on there know far too much for their own good lol.

Ah yes the Mini, she had a problem with reversing down the the ditch, then the back of that mans Mondeo at the lights and last but not least a close encounter with a bit of a tree :)

We have, after a family meeting decided an auto is they way forward :)
 
Ok clay is not working, i cant get a decent picture for love nor money, the best way i can describe it is water marks in the lacquer.

Its all over the rear quarter panels roof and down the passenger side, any other ideas before i get someone out?
