Fecking birds!

Another day another 4 bird craps on the bonnet which marked it in less than 24 hours.

So thought sod the palava with Supagard and going back to a dealer an hour away, and broke out the DA polisher!

Pretty pleased with the result

That bonnet shot is the equivalent of the money shot in an adult film.

Very good job my man.

Very good.

You should see the birds in Lossiemouth.

Huge buggers, they even dive bomb the poor dog - luckily he is already spots

Car has been literally cover each morning.

Obviously these big Scottish birds recognised the London number plate and target it specifically.

Really need some point defence weapons for the buggers!

Cheers chaps!

I know what you mean Brigand, parked my wife's car under a tree over the road and the pigeon crap on it when we got home was unreal. There was so much and you'd think they'd been eating concrete.

I think we need BMW to add similar bird repellent options that Jaguar does:

Good results!

Mine was dive bombed the other day by what I can only describe as melted cream eggs all over the rood, boot and bonnet, they even managed to get a driver side shot which ended up in the door lock.

The car was freshly waxed with SV Shield, so it didn't mark thankfully.

Go for this mate, I had the DAS 6 version and it was ok, this is much better and the 15mm throw is ideal for a harder paint. I did mine with this and the results were fantastic.

No worries mate, the machine can be had for £160 but you need to buy pads and stuff, so best just going for a kit.

I was actually reading this wondering how you got on with this. Unfortunate mate.

Bugger. When I had the mark on the roof, Sytner/Supagard were potentially going down that route if they couldn't get it out. Glad they didn't as its a big job to respray the roof and EBII is a bitch to match.

So far my coats of SNH are keeping the bird muck from any marks.

Also have a bottle of detailing spray and some AG bird dropping wipes in car.
