Bird dropping(s) on composite finish..

Advice
#1

Thanks for all the advice about protectant!

Now, another boat finish question…



Anybody know how to diminish the whitish haze left by a bird dropping on the deck of my clearcoat/red & silver metalflake boat? What the heck is in that? Something like ammonia?



I know I’m getting a bit fussy, but I like to do my best to take care of my stuff!



Thanks!

Use a damp paer towel and then
the hose.

Yep - something like ammonia.
Ever smelled around where starlings congregate?

Be Thankful…
…the droppings aren’t from gulls feeding on squid - the squid ink stains really badly - our sailboat got bombed on her mooring many years ago, and the purplish stains were still visible when we sold it several years later :->))

Of course I washed it off!
…but is did something to the finish…it has a white haze to it…is this Patrick?

#7

its acid etched
Bird droppings are concentrated to minimize water loss. So the uric acid is strong stuff. Eats through automotive clear coats too.

use a light
rubbin comp[ound for the hull material , auto stores - marine - an big box places -oughta take the stain out .

Any bird dropping should be washed off
asap. If it has stained then a mild abrasive polish may remove it depending on how long it was on the surface.
