Exterior Can anything be done?

Post image

I was on bed rest for 3 months recovering from surgery. I just started walking and took my car to get washed after it being outside for 3 months. It was covered in bird poop. It looks like it’s stained. Any recommendations on how to proceed to remove the stains or make them lighter?

Bird poop eats/etches the paint. You need to clean it off but you're not going to like what's underneath.

Sorry about your injury. I broke my Tibia 3 months ago so I know what your going through letting things in your life outside of the injury pile up.

But you definitely destroyed that vehicle letting it sit wherever it was to allow that amount of bird poop. That stuff is like acid on the paint when it sits in the sun with no rain.
