I have a garage queen for a car. I'm not a fanatic about detailing but keep the car in very good shape.

The top has a number of layers of 303 Protectant on the top. It had a nice 'flat black' appearance.

A bird crapped on my top. I hosed it off and didn't dry the top. Water puddled and evaporated overnight. Now I have 'hard-water' stains in the form of little circles (quarter, dimes, nickels) across the top. I've tried straight water, a concentrated solution of Zaino Z-7 car wash but don't want to do anything more aggressive.

Any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

try using a nylon brush on the top on your next car wash. just scrub in circular motion, rinse, dry, then apply the 303 again. good luck

from autopia:
[I]Your first inclination will be to scrub the stain with the regular shampoo. DON

 

That happened to me an I just used a vinyl top cleaner and toothbrush.

Good luck.

 

good suggestions above...
my only addition is dont wait-
get to those stains as soon as possible- the protectants on your car should make this job not so hard.
btw, the key to dozen5's suggestion is not to let the product dry on the car... that would be twice as hard to fix!
