Just a quick thankyou to all the morons by the seaside yesterday who, despite all the warning signs to the contrary, STILL fed the seagulls with fruit, chips and bits of their sandwiches, with the result that my car was crapped on profusely. It's only 8 month's old and worse than that, black, and despite cleaning the stuff off 4 hours later the damage had been done. Thank God it was only on the front bumper and not on the bodywork per se. However, there is still a stain and I don't know how to get it off. Suggestions, anyone? T-Cut?

 

I walked along the seafront at Sidmouth, Devon yesterday and I saw about twenty cars absolutely covered in bird droppings! I am not exaggerating. God knows how long they'd been there!

 

When will people learn not to feed them? Next time, I'm going to cover the car in a huge blanket and I don't care if I look a ****.

does the damage look like a burn or wrinkled skin, if so it looks like ita a machine polish to sort. best take it to a pro to do, saw to many monkeys do even more damage with the machines than what the cars came in with.

Yes, it's a stain, and when I run my fingers gently over it, it does feel a bit rough and hard. I am not sure what the seagulls are eating, but it surely can't be long before the government wake up to it and use it as part of a secret chemical weapons programme, as some stuff that will eat through just about anything! Thankfully, I haven't totally lost my sense of humour yet.

Gull-shart is the worst! My dad had one do a great one down his rear three quarter window on his A5 Sportback, cleaned it off several hours later to find it had actually melted the window rubber! Looks like someones had a right go at it basically and only way to fix would be to get the glass popped and have the rubber replaced. Honestly never seen anything like it!

Yep, don't know what goes on inside a gull's gut but some of the stuff they produce sets better than concrete!

Sarge.

Of course I can't condone such behaviour but you could do what a chap I used to work with did on a fishing trip once. Got fed up with the gulls so put an alka selzer tablet in a sprat, gull ate it, flew away but didn't get very far. Unfortunately my former colleague was made to clear up the resultant mess!
