hello smart people..bought my passion last october and a few weeks ago noticed bird droppings which i immediately wiped off with water and a very soft cloth..much to my dismay, i now have permanent light red stains from the droppings (white car)...has anyone had these problems? i just can't imagine why this should be happening..i am very upset and getting no where with my dealership..would love feedback...
Did you really take it to the dealer expecting it to be a warranty issue? You said "i just can't imagine why this should be happening" Forrest Gump once said...
I'd contact your insurance and see if you have a bird poo clause.
hello there;
believe it or not, if i had purchased the environmental warranty package, i now know i would have been covered and the panels would be re-placed..i do not recall that one of the issues discussed was bird droppings, acid rain, yes...
Try Plexus or some paint-safe cleaner but also some car polish. Car polish should even out the layers and possible dig into the stain enough to get it out. Worth a shot.
Kipling. First action on organic stains should always be Hydrogen Peroxide. HP only attacks organic material, and does a great job on bugs and bird droppings.
We use it on a regular basis on our Smartie, and it never leaves a trace.
Buy at Wal-Mart @ sixty cents a bottle. (BTW, HP is the main ingredient in "Oxi-Clean") A2Jack
Little birdie in the sky,why did you doo it on my Smart,I don't know why,I'm REALLY glad that COWS don't fly!!! A 12 gauge shotgun will fix that. Cheerz, SmartChip
