    Great job on such a monstrocity

    Any tips on removing (or masking) bird poop damage?

    There is a bit of haze in a circle on the Aygo's bonnet, guess it was not protected sufficiently or the bird was nuclear!

    Sounds like the poop has burnt into the top coat. I presume the clay wont take it off.

    It sounds as though it needs lightly wet sanded and then machine polished back to a shine. Paint on these wee Aygos is so very thing though that there is hardly any to play with.

    Thanks Ian.

    Think I will leave well alone, you can only see it if you really look for it.
