Tough Bimmer Paint 0, Carpark Washer/ Wiper 1

The owner wanted to keep the car sparkling clean by cleaning it daily but hasn't got the time to do it, hence he engaged the neighbourhood friendly chap who does the cleaning in the night. May be wrong guy for the job as the Bimmer was marred and some of the scratches looked bad. Most of these defects could have been minimised if the cleaning was done much more safely to the paint work.

... surface marring...

... RDS on the hood/ bonnet panel... damage was probably inflicted while trying to remove the dried bird poo.

This dried up bird poo was removed in the night, leaving an etched marking behind. Bird poo + scorching sun can cause alot of damage to the paint work. Golden rule no. 1, if you park in open air carpark, do avoid the trees at all times, a few hours of shade is simply not worth the risk of damaging the car's paint work. Avoid parking under the tree will minimise the risk of getting bombarded by the birds. (;
Defects were gone after 5 hits, tough paint!


Marring was gone and most acidic etched marks were removed after 4-5 hits, wonder if the the chap who does the cleaning daily helped in this case as there were encounters before that the acidic etched mark were in very bad condition... hmmm... but the RDS that were slapped with multiple hits were only minimised and eventually left alone because it's too deep to be safely corrected.


Bimmer back to pristine condition again!




The rejuvenated car was handed back to the owner and i hope he can find other alternative to maintain the car daily. As for the chap who does the cleaning in the night, i have nothing against him as he is also doing a decent job... maybe he can upgrade himself to serve the consumer better as i know there are many people that need his prudent service as owning a car is not everything. Thank you for viewing.

  1. Very true. Bird poop is not something you should take lightly, as it really can mess with your car paint. As for me, I'd rather expose my car to the sun's heat than to bird poop while it's under a tree shade.
