I've not had any experience with modern ceramic coats, but I suspect they're still no replacement for honect car/paint care. Especially if it's in the sun (get that awesome bake on.) So cleaning it off as quick as possible is best. Obviously the longer a bird is on the paint, the better its chances of etching it. My biggest issue at work is that I get bird droppings almost on a daily basis and they always etch into the clearcoat pretty badly. That makes it painful to remove and the acids that form can mar the paint (especially single stage paints.)ĭoes Rejex prevent etching from acid rain and bird droppings at all? I'm trying to decide if I want to spend megabucks on ceramic coating to protect my new Corvette when it arrives or if I should give Rejex a try. Just be sure not to let them bake on in the sun. You notice a difference if you've got a fresh coat of wax/sealant, vs. 2 minutes on the high pressure hose and it's all clean. I've arrived in towns in Aus with the front of my car green with bug guts and the windscreen a mess. Using a high pressure hose will also ensure you can remove them from your radiator/grill without too much hassle.Īlso depending on the drive and how bad the bugs are, you might need to (or choose to) remove them each time you stop for fuel. If you can get them off before they set, then life will be much easier. (Called Happy Wash in Australia.) Either that or take your own.

Before you go to your hotel, find the local DIY car wash / high pressure hose joint. A wax/sealant will also help protect the paint from the acids present in bug guts.īut the real trick is to remove them as soon as you arrive. As others have said, ensuring there is a wax or sealant on the car will make remove easier. Coming from Australia, bugs on road trips are always a problem, especially around harvest time.
