Attack of the acid fly

[zippy500]

Any one experienced this. I hit a big insect on the way home, Just been out to pick all the dead things of the nose and the little sod has attacked the paint. Ive tried a quick polish on it and its still there.
It is only visable at certain angles, but im almost annoyed.

Looks like I bagged one of Ripleys bad guys.

Suggest you paint a little image of a fly with a big cross through it under your side window?

I had the same thing with bird turd Zippy. Have tried everything. Looks like a trip to the bodyshop to get rid of the blemish.

That must have been the mother of all bugs

LMFAO

This happens all the time if yer car is parked anywhere near trees (Burd T*rd) or you drive a country lane (Bug T*urd). The advice in my car's manual is get to wash off faeces and dead insects of all kinds immediately upon return home (but I'm thinking of carrying a 5L bottle of water and a cloth for immediate treatment this summer).

A seriously good polishing has got rid of most of these little incidents for me but I reckon the (tiny) remains will stay there until the dealer machine polishes the car prior to resale...

I knew birdy turdy was a no no, but im amazed an insect could do this. Its not to bad as to warrant a bodyshop, polishing will work. Little gits.

Why do you think Americans strap on those black bibs on the front of their cars.

After I used some Zymol (www.zymol.co.uk) I found that the bugs washed off very easliy...

Same here, I find that now my Tiv has had a couple of decent wax polishes (Autoglym - still saving for Zymol!) bird crap comes off much easier and doesn't stain anymore.

So men do spend more on make up than women!!

...Cheaper to Respray?

Or you could get the cheaper Zymol wax, like the carbon or creame, for around the £60 mark, which produce an excellent finish and the tub lasts ages. As in years and years.

Alternatively, if you are visiting the US, buy it there as like most things, its cheaper there.

T-CUT kicks ar**!!

After washing the beast yesterday, I stood looking at the annoying blemish on the bonnet, which is immaculate apart from that. And I thought, s*d this, I'm just gonna go at it with tar remover and t-cut. Its going to go to the bodyshop anyway....

5 minutes later and hey presto, its gone. Yipee!!!!

Will keep a bottle of water and a rag in the car in future though. And maybe an air rifle.....

How did you get on with fly on acid Zippy??
