I got it again. I have to drive my bird target to the commuter lot becaue my DD is wrecked. I have a particular parking spot that is in the middle of the lot with no one able to park around me (no door dings that way) and it is more than 200 yards from the nearest tree. I come back to the car yesterday afternoon and a dive bombing bird has hit the area just behind the passesnger door. With the temp around 100 it baked on real good! I got it home and cleaned as best I could and the crap etched the clear coat now I have two good sized spots on the hood and this one on the door. I tried everything to get it out no luck. I would use the cover but it wouldn't last 10 min in the lot before someone would be using it on their car. Can these marks be buffed out by something on the market or do I have to go to the body shop again?
I'm really hating birds right now!

 

Try clay bar then go from the least abrasive cleaner wax and work your way up until you get it!

 

After you're done, reprogram your computer for this ...

Me too!

 

sweet how do you do that??

 

I use to have a 2002 AW Z28 and the birds would go out of their way to take a dump on her. I think it may have had something to do with the white color of the car looking like a big pile of bird crap so the other birds thought it was the local rest stop.

 

 

Funny video, PETA would faint if they saw that one.

 

If you have cat issues ... there's a program for that too!

Hello Everyone,

Ah yes. Bird crap is an evil, frigging and horrible bain of our existence in the Corvette motorsports enthusiast world. IMHO, it just seems to absolutely fling all over the place, right after I have waxed the car. And, although I am not a meteorologist, I damn well know when its going to RAIN major Bird crap bombs. Big ones! And, it seems to happen when I am getting ready to attend a Corvette show with all my buds and colleagues.

But, amusingly (and I do mean "amuse"), I have one colleague of mine that is really a gem to have around at those important events. Because the biggest bottomed birds (blessed with the highest fecal capacity) seem to select him out to vent and open up big time. Let me assure you that our big butted C5 bumpers could be kissing in the cramped parking lot. And, those lovely winged wraiths (AKA, "Fiendish Feathered Farters") zero in on my buddy with their hiney radar. And, with the most astute accuracy that I have seen this side of the military.

My buddy has even started to wear a wide brimed cowboy hat just to save whats left of his frigging hair. We gave the poor thing an umbrella (yes, a big one specially ordered from Omar the Tent Maker) last year for Christmas. Well, it's good to share amusing moments with all our Corvette brothers and sisters.

Best Wishes,
Eden

 

I hate 'em too! A few months ago I had shined up my Mag red coupe real nice and went for a ride. As I was driving past a Ford dealership I decided to pull in and check out the new Mustangs. And no -- I promise -- I was NOT trying to show off my car!!! Well this was on a Saturday and several salesmen were outside talking. As I pulled into a parking space a couple came over and started complimenting my Corvette. I had just gotten out and still had the door open when a flock of pigeons flew over. Yup, all over my car, and one even got my doorsill and the side of the seat because my door was still open!! I told the salesmen, "This is what I get for pulling into a Ford dealership!"

 

Happens every time - the Vette seems to be a magnet for bird droppings.

 

 

 

Oh, "MyVetteDream",

Well, sweetheart, you have no frigging clue as to what happened to me today. And, let me tell you that you have not heard the last of it. Only earlier this morning, my wonderful mate had waxed my pride and joy. And, I stepped out to warn my beloved of impending doom as I heard a Friggin Flock of Fat Fateful Doves (called "City-Chickens", AKA, "Sh!tty Chickens"), coo and cluck on by. Well, I looked up, and, seemingly to me, they all appeared to signal to eachother that an unwary C5 enthusiast whom has just waxed their prized clean and shiny C5, is just down below. Frack!!!

And, honey, of course, those Fecal Fiends of Farts and Fury, zeroed in on OUR roof line, and, sat there plotting their next bombing mission. I just frigging know it! Well, my darling mate said: "Don't sweat it. Birds like you. It's me they can't stand". And, laughed jokingly, traipsing without a care on through the side access to the back yard.

Well, funny thing: Those Flying, Flinging, Featherd Farters of Fecal Fate followed my beloved to the back. Now, I did not think anything of it untill I walked back into the house and heard all this banging and clanging in the bathroom. It sounded like the Boogey Man ("Grodey Rooter") was busting out through the "effing" sewer pipes. Well, since my mate was swearing away, it occured to me that my beloved needed help. And, that this scene was probably due to the very common tune of : "Please come and kill the Spider that is as as big as a Buick". But, ... in reality, is barely visible to the naked eye.

Well, let me tell you what horror my eyes beheld as I stumbled onto this incredible scene: Those Devious Damn Doveys pelted our huge scenic bathroom window with the Drippiest Doo Doos, yet, seen to date, in my entire lifetime. In fact, I was totally stupefied, for just a moment, as I stood in awe of the amount of the major Dovey Diarrhea Dung that was flung upon our window pane (could that much crap really come out of a birds butt?). All that aside: This Is An Act of War !!! The horribly Loud Poopey Pelting startled my sweetheart while in the midst of making a serious deposit in the can (if you know what I mean). Well, such injury added to insult is not to be tolerated, my brothers and sisters. Stay tuned for Part Two of the "C5 Cover Your Heads Team Take a Stand at Dove Crap Hill".

Keep On Waving,
Eden

 

Good Luck

 

Oh no Eden! OMG! ROFLMAO!

Sounds like "The Birds" ... and the Mel Brooks version at that!

I guess I would try suggesting one of those wooden or plastic owls from a local home improvement store ... but then I don't even want to think about how those Devil Doveys would desecrate the poor defenseless thing.

Good luck ... maybe your need an old priest and a young priest!?

I want that

 

Good luck trying to get the etching out. Last year I had just had my black/black 04 delivered when a sea gull took a dump on my hood. Tried to clean it up all kinds of polish and cleaners but nothing would bring it back. Once it eats thru the clear coat your done. At least I could not find anything that would bring it back.
Maybe someone on the forum has a solution1
