Car Paint query/bird damage

[MR94]

Hi all,

I had a new PCH vehicle delivered earlier this week, and after 72 hours I ve noticed that something I thought was just a smudge that needed cleaning, seems to be bird-poo related damage to the paint

I can t be arsed trying to pin it on the dealer or BCA, as I ll probably lose and can t be arsed with the stress

The bird poo was probably left on the car while it was awaiting transportation, itseems to have removed the clearcoat along the drop down the door, how would I go about having this repaired/does anyone have any advice on trying to minimising the damage somewhat?

I can't see the pic, but a good detailer may be able to improve the damage you describe, perhaps with wet sanding and compounding provided its not completely burned through the lacquer.

Thanks for the advice,

It's showing the pictures for me if I click the ?, is anyone else able to view them?

No trouble here viewing, sadly not qualified to give advice on the issue.

A good detailer will be able to use some wet and dry and minimise that to a point where it's probably entirely unnoticeable. You can remove a very thin layer of clear coat and re-polish. I've done this successfully many times.
