Fantastic channel, I’m 54 and love detailing my cars just for myself, but it’s like a back to school day with your channel I’m learning stuff I never knew
Perfect! So many DIY‘ers are horrified at the thought of sanding the ‘shine’ off the paint finish without realising all you’ve done is taken off a micro layer of clear coat which will then take a nice polish back to gloss again. Thanks for the video!
You're a braver man me, I would have ditched the heat gun after 1 minute especialy on a plastic bumper. if that had bubbled the paint or distorted the plastic it would have been so much more grief trying to rectify it. I don't think anyone should take that risk particularly when the alternative is not that tricky and almost risk free.
Been binge watching your videos. So refreshing to see all the mystery and fear taken out of the repairs you do. Just ordered a bunch of stuff from paint gear, to have a crack at some of the little cosmetic issues that have been bugging me. Thank you for advice.
I have personally had success with a paint gun (headgun) on a black car without any extra coating. What I did was first heat up the panel (just like you do in the video). Once the panel was properly warmed up, I gently went over the bird droppings with a hand pad and some medium polishing compound. After a few passes, the stain was completely gone. I didn't vigorously rub, I carefully worked the polishing compound in and wiped it off.
when the bird-muck is left on the paint for 2 or 3 days, the morning dew will re-hydrate it and soak into the the paint even more. this commonly happens when the car is new, as the paint is still soft, and takes a full 9months to reach maximum hardness, as the solvents in the paint dissipate into the atmosphere. and also darker colours get much hotter than lighter colours. i have seen many bird-mucks eat through to the bare-metal on new cars. and it is mainly for 2months of the year, when the berries are in season. thanks for the great video 👍.
Really great to see a straight to the point, keep it simple and honest advice to sort the annoying paint issues we all have on our rides. Cheers and keep them coming :)
Excellent video! This is the 3rd video on this subject I've watched. The 1st one was of another Englishman who was working in a similar environment. He started by saying he used 2 different methods of removing the mark. First used a heat gun and the mark disappeared right in front of my eyes in what appeared to be a couple of minutes. Very impressive. He then moved onto another area on the same car and did the wet sand and buff method. I followed that up with your video on how you remove the marks with the wet sand and buffing to follow up with this video. Very impressed that you gave the heat gun a go with no result then on with the wet sand and buff. That is certainly a far superior way to do it and I know that is how I will be removing these marks. On to your next video!
Thank you for demonstrating this... think the sanding and polishing method is the better way personally. I'll keep using the heat gun for the skirting boards 👍🏻
Great vid as always. I love. The tips and tricks for just normal people with ordinary cars that like to keep them looking as good as they can. Keep up the great content please
I’ve taken off etching like that with 5000 grit sandpaper and a finishing polish. The less clear coat removed the better. If the paint is soft then 1000 grit to start might be needed. Good vid 👍
Pretty sure that paste will take out anything up to 1500. The general condition of that car looks like the owners daily driver rather than a wank-mobile.
I've used a heat gun to remove bird poo etchings for years. It does work every time, using a heat gun and a damp cloth, it's much better and easier than resorting to sanding and removing paint.
Btw...no need to wet sand. I removed one that was burned in my fathers hood for 2 years. I was able to remove it easy with medium cut pad and Monello Veloce compound. It's like the Menzerna 400 compound. Then with finishing pad en Monello Finale(like Menzerna 3800) finishing polish. All gone with a nice smooth and scratch free paint. After that I protected the paint with Soft 99 Fusso Coat.
I rather would use an infrared light. I did it with a philips infraphill 😂. It's an infrared lamp for your muscles but it's get hot if to close but it's much safer then a heat gun.
Just subscribed 👍 I’ve just had my bonnet resprayed and then had the bright idea of going to the seaside 🤦🏼♂️ Needless to say I want the seagull poo gone sharpish! 😂
Thanks for the great videos. Would it be possible to buff back after wet sanding by hand ? I’m not sure I’ve got the confidence to use a DA. I was considering getting an old panel of some sort and practicing on it. Also I’m going to get a drill attachment to start with before investing to much cash, is this adequate ?
Hi, your videos are extremely helpful for a DIY’er to give a go! Are you able to do a repair on lacquer peel / lacquer cracks and how to fix those please?
I done this a couple of years back on the roof of my wife’s black BMW touring on one of the hottest days of the year she left it for a couple of days and I thought the roof was ruined. A bit of patience with a heat gun and they were all gone. It was like watching magic.
Heat gun method only really work on recent bird lime, anything left over a week no chance . Just as easy to machine nib with trizact A7/A5 and lambs wool polish .
Yikes - I wonder how many people burn the paint off - esp if they are using a DIY heat gun! I took the plunge and used the wet sanding approach before a polish - it works a treat so long as you follow your instructions carefully.
Awesome channel thanks.. apparently it's about getting clear coat to basically melt and reflow..What temperature did it get too ?? Didn't work at least with my hair dryer.. has for other people.. it clearly works for many people... a mystery why ?? ... Maybe as you mentioned because the paint was in trouble condition and dry to start with and who knows how long the bird poop day has been there. It would be interesting to know why didn't work for you because obviously you got it hot enough lol.. my method.I cleaned first with IPA ..for me got the surface to 83°C at least four times.. hair dryer temp is probably not enough but it does work for other people in other videos..why oh why ?? .. interesting ..I heated then let it cool & repeated 4 times..2020 Tesla model 3 Ocean Blu Pearl .. I believe heating up n letting it cool several times is the preferred method ? which I did... so it would have been helpful if you had measured the surface temp while you were doing the job so we can see what the temperatures get up too... So what is the safe maximum temperature the panels clear coat ?
Having successfully removed a bird muck stain on my own car with a heat gun, I was talking to my neighbour about it and he asked me to try on his car. I got four stains off his bonnet, one quite deep. All done outside his house on a moderately warm dry day. Had the gun set on medium heat and kept it moving to avoid overheating the paint. I would guess that if a stain can be polished out - i.e, is still within the body of the clear coat and not burned through - it can be removed with a heat gun.
It does work, but not every time. I find that it works best when it is on metal panels and not that old poo. I've saved some using heat and some needed sanding and polish. If it works, it will save some time and effort
Amazing videos, keep up the good work. Did you have any cars with clearcoat missing in a certain spot ? Will polishing help with that or do you need to apply clearcoat on the spot? I had that on my bumper since I bought it.
I happened on you channel and videos by chance - it was the red Ferrari stone chip repair that popped up and piqued my interest. Very well done! What I have is a 2011 BMW X3 with a black metallic paintjob with naturally a clear coat - and it has severe bird dropping damage. It almost looks like an area about the size of "half an egg" which is filled with stone chips, i.e. the damage is all the way down to the base colour. I was hoping to find something similar to that on your channel, but nothing other than the Ferrari damage comes close. I am going to attempt a repair using the "Ferrari method" sometime this spring - unless you have a better option and suggestion. I cannot afford a repaint - not even a partial one - so I need to do what I can as a DIY. I will most likely not be able to get a 2K clear, unless I can find a rattle can of the stuff on the cheap. Just a tiny one and either mask and spray directly on the car and deal with runs as I need a quite a lot on there to build it up - or use the squeege approach and hope I can get two or three applications out of the can spraying it on a car or similar - and do it all before the hardener makes the 2K unworkable.
The heat gun worked for me I had seagull crap on my rear quarter it left a big mark on my black car. I used heat gun and a micro fibre cloth, heated it and rubbed it and repeated. Think it all depends on how long the bird craps has been on the car to be honest, if its less than 24hrs it will come out.
Just for a record, I had bird poo (the whole car and it was in the sun for 6-7h. clear coat was cracked). It was a nightmare. Actually, the heat gun removed all the stains. But the car was one year old (VOLVO), so it is maybe due to color quality, and I did it the same day.
I have the same car volvo…. and after not even 1 hour in full sun , just normal light(but it was 30+ degrees Celsius) its already damaged and burned in….. my old car didn’t have the problem even after removing it after 2 weeks in full heavy sun light. The paint on volvo is freaking bad…..
Great vid. Worth trying. May i ask You for advice regarding wet sanding a chip? I used block for sanding after touch up on my bmw e90 hood near the embossing and after buffing there is something like an indent visible, in the shape of paralel block edges, still in clear coat tho. Do You think i can remove it by sanding again by hand without block, on a bigger area? Best regards
You're a good man. So I parked my new deep blue Tesla at work, and a tree dropped dozens of these blue berry type things all over it. Cleaned off after a day or so, went on holiday for a month, came back and during its next wash realised its etched everywhere! I'm a bit nervous about hitting it with sandpaper though... I'm guessing just cut and polish with a DA isn't enough for these issues though? Thanks, and g'day from Australia 🦘
KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle at its finest. Enjoying the channel, thanks for sharing. Got a Toymota Corolla stroller to work on, and your tips are very useful.
You did it wrong. The trick is to use a medium heat over the affected area for about 15 seconds, stop and wipe for 10 seconds, then repeat the process 3 or 4 times. You are basically creating a chemical reaction whereby the clear coat expands and contracts, eventually swallowing up the etching. Doing it by holding the heat over the area expecting it to just vanish isn't how it works
Ur just baking it on, by using a heat gun. It needs to be softened first. That's what I do with mine, by using a proprietary cleaner in a spray bottle. Then simply wipe off...
Fresh birdpoo vant be easily temoved bit of tossue paper soaked in fairy leave on paint and will dissolve after hour but that said the longer its left on especially in summer time it will eat into your paintwork which therfore. Needs a repaint
@@cvrpov ok. Thats a Point when you use every day. Point for you :) Greetz from germany. Watching your Vids at this Moment. You do your Jobs like i do. So i think that is not the badest way :)
@@cvrpov I meant 'the bird that poo'd on the car makes an appearance at 6:15' hah. The sanding made it look perfect again. I'd rather use that method than using a heat gun anyway. Two intense minutes where I thought that Porsches paint would get ruined ahah
You were being a bit brave with that heat gun matey, only one way the right way no fakery 😂👌🏴🇬🇧also with flatting, balls of steel only microns thickness. 😢
On another note.. I have some magic beans for sale that when planted turn into any car of your dreams... 😂 Some people will believe anything they see without question.
A few months down the line that paint will go flat an die. An expensive car to test a myth on . Dont believe all all the bolocks from idiots on you tube.

I don't think anyone should take that risk particularly when the alternative is not that tricky and almost risk free.
I had the backup of being able to spray it. I pushed it pretty far to show the results to people

Haha yeah may aswell do it on a 70k car
That was great and takes it back to original!!
I'd also recommend a bit of masking tape when working near edges of other panels 👍🏼

I used a hair dryer with my Porsche Cayenne. It worked! Hair dryer seemed less risky than a heat gun.

Hi, your videos are extremely helpful for a DIY’er to give a go!
Are you able to do a repair on lacquer peel / lacquer cracks and how to fix those please?
Thanks for watching. Lacquer peel and lacquer cracks usually require a respray. Depends how bad the lacquer peel area is as it can vary
Thanks for the reply! Would that need to be sanded down?

Check out www.paintgear.co.uk they do sanding kits and polishing kits
Don’t worry too much about the negative comments. They’re not in the same league as you!
I have a couple of Marks on my Audi Q5 but it has diamond shine protection on it can I use this method on it
Yes. I think the diamond shine has probably worn off. Ceramic is better

Would steam work? 🤔 just wondering
That paint must of been so hot 🔥 great video mate 👍
Thanks pal. Yes it was getting very hot
Works the same with baked on tree sap
It looks like you are pressing quite hard with the buffer. Is that right?
my mother inlaws car had bird poor or bat poo dropping on roof pulled 30mm circle off to bare metal.
Nasty. Maybe the bat poo is more potant
Nice work
Thanks
It would be interested to see if just the buffing alone removed it?
If it penetrated the clear coat, then no. Sanding will be required.
Agree with this
wouldn't heat gun just cement it to paint more ?
I suppose not as in this instance it's just the marring left from the bird muck
What grit is the sandpaper
I used chemical guys c4 and then finished with p4. Safer than sanding your bodywork tbh?
If it works then yeah but many times I've encountered, polishing alone isn't enough..hence the video
@@cvrpov I had a pretty big shit storm. Worked well.
How about tar remover. The least destructive method.
Won't touch it

awesome video i detail my dads car since he had it he has some patches of bird shit it stands out il try it thanks 👍🕺
Great thanks
I have tried this before, flat and polish, it goes, but it will come back in the heat because its in the lacquer.
AMAZING JOB!!! you did not use 3000 grit sand paper...
No but I recommend u do
Really can’t go wrong with a little sanding
It fixes many problems
that was quicker your way without sorting out an extension lead or generator
Yeah
Fresh birdpoo vant be easily temoved bit of tossue paper soaked in fairy leave on paint and will dissolve after hour but that said the longer its left on especially in summer time it will eat into your paintwork which therfore. Needs a repaint
Inbetween is this method shown
The heat only works on recent etching.
If the sun doesn't make it go away, the heat gun will also not work
I agree with this
Can the sun make it go away In rare cases?
I'm just now finding this channel, very impressive. l like your style, no BS. I look forward to finding more videos of yours. 👆Subscribed.

no need to sand... compound would remove it

Why don’t you just sand it from the beginning????

You were being a bit brave with that heat gun matey, only one way the right way no fakery 😂👌🏴🇬🇧also with flatting, balls of steel only microns thickness. 😢
I always could fall back on being able to respray it. I wanted to show that I really hit the area with heat
Course it's not going to work it bakes on as it is nevermind the fact that the plastic below the paint is turning to oil as it PP plastic lol
I knew it wouldn't work btw 😅😉
It does work it’s just you haven’t a clue what you’re doing plus it doesn’t work on plastic that well! I’ve done it with great success without issue!
Just done a video showing it doesn't work and you come back with that
@@cvrpovget him to make a video
On another note.. I have some magic beans for sale that when planted turn into any car of your dreams... 😂
Some people will believe anything they see without question.
What do you mean?
Bird poo burned a spot on clearcoat. Lets burn other areas to match it.
I can’t really see how a heat gun can remove bird shit
It does work in rare cases
A few months down the line that paint will go flat an die. An expensive car to test a myth on . Dont believe all all the bolocks from idiots on you tube.
I needed to see this thankyou 🫡
I have personally had success with a paint gun (headgun) on a black car without any extra coating. What I did was first heat up the panel (just like you do in the video). Once the panel was properly warmed up, I gently went over the bird droppings with a hand pad and some medium polishing compound. After a few passes, the stain was completely gone. I didn't vigorously rub, I carefully worked the polishing compound in and wiped it off.
