My missus drives the clio to work, and used to park near a tree , which resulted in a fair bit of bird residue on there (always cleaned off quickly after). I came to clean the car for FCS and even after clay bar, a couple of goes with scratch X, polish, sealant and carnbuba there are still marks all over the laquer where it was! Anyway, I had thought that this would eventually come off, and with that much stuff on the paintwork it should be well enough protected!
Car got attacked again the other day, and I cleaned it that evening, and it seems to have marked the paint again. Am going to try a proper clean again this weekend, but it doesnt seem to bode well!
Have other folks with metallic, in particular Black gold clios had similar problems, or do I have a poor paintjob? I wonder if mine has soft laquer of something, as bird muck shouldnt etch the paint after being there a couple of hours - maybe after a couple of weeks!
Am considering sending it in to Renault, but dont want them to screw it up more! Any ideas on what I can do (missus has now changed her parking habits, after being shown how much work it took to get the worst of the marks out!)...
