The Mighty Vectra took a direct hit from a suicidal pigeon today that left a huge smear of grease, guts and pigeon poo down the side of the car and in the door handle (eugh). So I borrowed some gloves from stores and armed with a bucket of soapy water I went to clear up the mess much like Harvey Keitel did in Pulp Fiction.

However, now that it has dried, I have noticed that the strike mark has left a 6” long dull skuff in the paintwork not to mention a small beak shaped dint. Will polish disguise this?

Forgive my ignorance in such matters. I have owned a car for 19 years and I have never done any more advanced cleaning than pointing a hose at it every month or so and the annual “Vaccing of the Crumbs” ceremony which takes place after a motoring holiday or Ginsters frenzy.

you are worse than the flanders pidgeon murderer

will sit in judgement over you

Whats car polish?

I hope your going to sue the pigeons family.

Oh and Harvey Keitel didn't clean the car, he had coffee.

T-Cut and Polish will help.

Dont go near T-Cut, evil stuff. Its too abrasive.

Clean the affected area thoroughly, then try some scratch X (megaurs?) or Autoglym paintwork renovator and work at it gently, then follow with a coat of wax and it should be ok.

You are right.

These two cleaned it up.

The pigeon ended up like a feather duster dipped in a gooseberry fruit corner. I think the fecker must have burst on impact.

Will try paintwork renovator and wax.

Yup the explode some what when hit, they make a horrible mess when hit by a Sprinter doing a ton that smacks them on the arse.
