Plastidip Problem...

So I plastidipped my window trim 2 weeks ago and when I walked to my car today there was some nuclear bird **** on it that would not come off. I ended up having to gently scrub it and peeled off the Plastidip. Is there anyway around this?

i think the bird would have been scared if you have 4" exhaust tips.

It wasn't under a tree and it happened within the 5 minutes I went into the store.

Plastidip makes it hard to clean when powdery white stuff like wax and bird droppings get on it, but the window trim is a small thin piece so hopefully it won't happen again, maybe some goo gone to remove the crap

You may want to try a plastic/trim safe wax/sealant which will make cleaning off bird bombs easier if you catch them early. Collinite 845 is cheap and very durable and will not stain trim.

Essentially its a joke about you posting that you have 3" tips in your signature.

TRY either a good wax (gently rub) or hot water. Soak hot water on a cloth and let it sit on the bird poop for a while until it becomes soft.

THAT or re plasti-dip it. Second time around is always alot faster process.
