Trying Autoglym Reflow to remove bird dropping etching on a vehicles paintwork

[@Brinslade]

It seems like just a heat pad, so a heat gun would do the same, or heat plastic pad and lay it on top with a towel to insulate the plastic pad.

Well that was disappointing...as you say maybe the other reviewers were in California or somewhere. Seemed like if heat alone was going to work the heat gun would have fixed it anyway....🤔

[@just4therecord]

How about getting some hot water in a ziplock bag? Would that work ?

[@GoGreenAutos]

It could well do.

[@StephenLyons1984]

that's the weirdest thing ever lol. what temp did it get up to? i was hoping it would work. my zoe would need a bath in it lol. its getting close to 10 years old so not going to work

[@jsouto77]

You can get survival meals that use these bags to heat them up.... might be better value and regardless of the outcome at least you also get a meal out of it :)

[@GoGreenAutos]

Good idea!

[@stulop]

Ill stick with the polishing.

[@rtfazeberdee3519]

perhaps also weigh it down

[@AdamA63]

You need a hairdryer. It really works, you have to put the hairdryer on max setting and put it very close to the paint. Keep moving it around and after about ten mins the mark completely vanishes, never to return.

[@AdamA63]

@rookerman you can’t have been doing it correctly. It took a bad one out of mine.

[@AdamA63]

@rookerman how quickly did you get to the mark? How many days had elapsed?

[@tenbob1973]

Really? Does that work! Got a bad one on my 9yr old A3. Don't have a machine polisher so thought I was stuck with it.

[@AdamA63]

@ yes, but the sooner you do it the better the result.

[@tenbob1973]

@AdamA63 damn. Bought my car about 6 weeks ago and it was on there when I bought it. I just though it would wash out but obviously it didn't. Who knows how long it was on there 🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe beyond saving now.
