Default Bird sh*t stained head light
Hi all,
Any tips on getting this off my headlight? Tried Autoglym Ultra deep shine and the tooth paste trick however no luck

Autoglym metal polish.


And as you seem to have got it off the wing, finish off with the same wax you use for the paintwork, in case you get splatted again, it's a trick I use being fairly coastal.

Those bloody shitehawks are disgusting. It's like acid.

You might have to resort to a 3M headlight polishing kit - I think it's etched the acrylic coating.

Cheers for help both. I figured I would need something quite abrasive.. My car seems be a target lately.
