Causes

This can be caused by a multitude of different environmental factors including petrol, oils, acid, tree saps, tar, insects, farm sprays and most commonly bird poo!

Prevention

  1. Frequent washing of the surface is the very best way to ensure contamination is reduced.
  2. Make sure cars, buses, vehicles are washed as soon as possible after contamination and polish frequently.

Rectification

Wash the surface carefully with detergent and water. Rub the area using a fine compound and then polish. In very severe cases the area may need to be sanded and refinished.
