Detailed the car using some new products. Much of them from a little know brand called EZ and auto glim wheel kit used on the wheels.

Really impressed with the EZ products, I'm planning to put a review up when I get time.

Not far! I was at the Doncaster meet so you'll have seen it then haha

In-between a new addition to the family, moving house etc... I just haven't had the funding to work on any wants for the car.

You may not think it has come far but the paint work has with all the effort and polish and wax you have been using all helps the paint work last and stops it from going pink

That's true enough, the paint is looking much better than it did when I got it.

Funny you mention paint work, a bird crapped on my wing mirror and I hadn't noticed, ate into the laquer cracking it and fading it. I've just been out with a drill polish head and Maguire's ultimate compound buffing it out.

I've seen bird poo do damage before but this was rediculous, it ate into the paint in a matter of a few hours.

I have been k own to come home off a night shift and be out at 5am washing Bird Crap off my car. Neighbours think I’m mad but as you say it eats into paint in a matter of hours and with it being warm I don’t want the stuff gardening while I’m in bed.

Yup, it's really ****......

I'll just leave that there, not the bird poo mind...

Someone stop me! lol

I wash it off as soon as I can, pointless leaving it to eat into the paint.

My cars parked under the window at work... the offices next door think I'm crazy, if I even see a shadow off a bird I'm sprinting out!

Knowing you as I do Jon, I can well believe that and would love to see it lol

For some reason, I feel flapping my arms like I'm a bigger more predatory bird helps scare them away quicker.

I offered one of the guys at work a tenner to go stand outside with an umbrella over my car when it rained yesterday. For some reason he just laughed? You can't even give money away these days!!

Get researching these mate, https://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/owl-bird-scarer ,solved my Seagull nesting and shite problems in the Algarve

Funny you should say that... I was thinking of making some kind of Hawk / baseball cap combo to scare off seagulls. I wonder if they would fall for it. I went to Wales... and most of the houses had "hawk kites". And the houses with them seemed to have much much less crap on the roof than those without!

Seen those too and they are effective

I'll have to record some Hawk noises to play! Um, I think so, big white things with yellow beaks and grey wings. I did always think they were a bit far from the sea. They aren't the attack gulls you get in places like Skegness. They are much more civilised "excuse me kind sir, are you done with that KFC box, may myself and my colleagues distribute the scraps?". I assume coastal seagulls don't talk?
