Sorry guys never receive notification of the last two posts. Don't worry guys, the paint will be taken care of, I received the car less than a year ago and the car was like that when I purchased it. I bought all of the tools needed to get this car looking like it should.

Not parking near trees at my current house is impossible as there are trees everywhere lol That will be changing in less than a year though

Appreciate all the feedback

When I have a bird poopie on my paint, I usually spray it down with some water (in a spraybottle), let it sit for a few minutes to loosen it up, then blast it again with water. It usually all comes off just fine, especially since the surface of the paint is nicely waxed/sealed.

I do the same thing except I keep an old MF with spray bottle. Just in case I have to get mad...

Your telling me! I have to look at it almost everyday. I finally have 2 days off.. today and tomorrow. I work 55+ hours a week, a girlfriend(8+ years) who doesn't live with me since we both moved back to our home town which is $$ and staying at our parents house, and we are saving up for a house. There isn't a lot of extra time or money and that's why I have been on this site to get it fixed. Also some may have noticed as I haven't been on as much as my job has picked up quite a bit so when I get home, spending 8+ hours on my car isn't the first thing I want to do :p or possible as I have to get early.

If I remember right you can't really polish a car, then drive it around and polish the other half right? I wouldn't mind doing it in sections, but when I get home at night it's already dark so I can't wash it.

I already washed it today, and will be claying it for who knows how much long tonight haha

Tomorrow I will be polishing then sealing/waxing.
