Hey Guys,
I have a 1987 Corvette hardtop convertible, it is white. The body of the car is excellent and the paint up until this year was very good also, I have neighborhood cats that took a liking to the car and have sit on it and God only knows what on the car but they have stained the fiberglass really bad, I have tried wax and even had the car buffed at a repair shop and nothing seems to take the stains out, if you know of anything that I can try please contact me. Thanks

Try a Clay bar. That usually gets the hard to get problems out. You will have to wax the car again after.

Cats........The Crabgrass of domesticated animals!
Can't say what my recommendation for prevention would be without bringing the wrath of feline fluff followers down on my back!

I suggest a big dog that likes sleeping next to the car.

Are you sure you don't want to talk about removing your cats and putting dual exhaust on? You'd get more posts!

How have the cats stained the paint?

You could put a cover on it.

I don't know what stains need to be removed, but I have good luck with a coating of Rejex as a line of defense to prevent staining in the first place. I've had an Owl take a crap (or something bloody) right on the roof of my wife's car and it washed right off with the hose. It works great for bird turds and bug splats too. It's slick as teflon and has a deep shine too.

I really appreciate the info, I don't even care who knows that I hate cats!!!! The stains came from well, cats are like rabbits and my car seemed to be their Motel 6. Again thanks.
