Well thanks to you and your video. I have now purchased the ACDelco polisher with some 3M ultrafina SE to remove my bird poo damage.

Take it easy that's the best advice, especially on plastic panels. Keep the polisher moving with the 3M compound and you will be fine!

This is so nice, thank you for sharing! ✨

Had similar issue with bonnet some time ago, it was a hudge bird and it was hot and long day. Not sure if seagull, it must have been an eagle or pterodactyll maybe (haha). So the **** stayed there for couple of hours within battering sun. Long story short I had to use water sand paper from 1000 to 5000 since I had no rotary machine back then. Swirl removers or 'One-step-polish' on cloth by hand wouldn't help. The damage to clear coat was two-spot and it was a real pain in the neck to sort it out!

I left my Mora E38 740i at a friend's house for a few days after I had sold it and awaited him to collect it. I parked under a blossom tree and the blossoms left burns all over the bonnet. Absolutely nothing would flatten that paint again and I tried every polish known to man. I eventually sorted it in the same way as in this video except I used a full sized polisher. Made me sweat though, the new owner was high up in the BMW owners club!

Hey Timm, hope you're well. Really enjoy your videos - I've a 2005 650 E63 - so you're keeping me on the road 🤩 I'm told the poor range on my key fob (even with nrw batteries) is because of the amplifier. Do you know anything about where the diversity amplifier lives?

For anyone with the same problem. I found the amplifier on the rear, passenger side (rhd) rear screen pillar. Took it off, looked fine inside. Reconnected it and viola, remote locking back to normal 😎

I picked up the Makita 3 inch polisher and i am new to polishing, I have bird poo spots that have baked in the heat for awhile and I didn't want to over pokish since im new. I only went over it with a regular polisher but maybe I can give it one more try to lighten up its visibility

Will this work if the top clear layer has come off? I’m assuming that and not the polish. No damage to paint.
