Thumbs down Now THIS is a POS

I walked into the garage today, minding my own business... and what do I see but a dirty great big turd splattered on the roof of my Fairmont and running down the windscreen like a brown waterfall.

I wasted no time in beginning the ghastly process of cleaning it up, using all manner of kitchen paper towels, kero and eucalyptus oil. But even after I'd done all I could, several marks remain. This obviously happened overnight because I was working on the car just yesterday.

Next up it's time to try a cut & polish... any other ideas short of a respray? :err:

Stupid animals, no respect whatsoever.

Re: Now THIS is a POS

Poor Jack - by the animal kingdom!

Hope it all comes off!

Re: Now THIS is a POS

Citrus cleaner is good for cleaning shit, try to avoid getting it on your glass though. Polish it afterwards.

Re: Now THIS is a POS

Time to start covering the car in the garage with a cover or a sheet!
