Bird Droppings On Car Paint And How To Avoid Damage

Bird Droppings On Car Paint

As a professional car paint protection in Sydney, I have been involved in a myriad of detailing duties from general detailing to paint correction using various car polishing techniques, interior detailing and God knows what else, let me tell you I have seen it all. The worst thing I hate seeing on paint is egg or even worse bird droppings. In cases like this, most car owners don’t remove the bird stains and leave it on the car for days on end. Even eggs. Most people don’t know it but clear coats on paint are very thin and especially since 2008.

In many cases, when bird droppings or egg is left on the car, it is often too late to restore the finish using buffing techniques using compounds or polishes within the auto detailing industry for the simple reason that the acid in the bird dropping has penetrated the car’s paint. There are many varied elements of damage that can occur to car paint while your car is facing the sun on a daily basis and you could get away with a lot of different types of fallout sitting on your paint but, anything acidic like bird crap or eggs will eat through your paint in no time flat.

It should also be noted that on hot days, bird droppings act even faster to eat through car paint. It needs to be understood that for the sake of removing a bird turd which takes a minute to do, most car owners leave it sitting on there for weeks and when they try to remove it, they find that there is a patch left behind in the paint and say to themselves ” oh dear what is that ? ” I’ll tell you what it is.

It’s the cost of a newly re sprayed panel that your going to need because you allowed to sit on your pain twork for days on end. With the average re spray on a given panel costing anywhere from 300 dollars to 1000 dollars , it really is worth a simple moisten up and wipe off to restore your paint instead of burning a 1000 dollar hole in your hip pocket.

For cases where bird turds have been sitting on your paint, before removing it, moisten it up first. Do not try to scrape it off. You may even try using your garden hose and blast it off and this will eventually remove a large portion off your car paint. Upon having done this, grab yourself a microfiber cloth with some detailer or car polish and then wipe off the remainder of the stain. If it doesn’t come off with normal polish or you have a stain left behind you will need some form of paint correction to restore it. If it does restore to its former state then be sure to also apply car wax to protect the car’s paint from any further fallout or the elements of nature.

All Terrain Vehicles – Driving A Dangerous Machine Safely

Car paint protection Adelaide coating is different because it creates a unique plasticised barrier which, unlike wax or polish, molecularly bonds to paintwork, leaving a glass-like finish, which helps prevent oxidising and fading. All terrain vehicles” or ATV is a general term applied on vehicles with three or four low-pressure tires, including amphibious ones. They are designed to travel on inhospitable terrain, and because of this, they are sturdy, stable and supposed to be, safe for rough and rugged ground. However, sturdy as they may be, all terrain vehicles should be operated only by those qualified and skilled enough to do so. Do not attempt it if you are not trained.

How to Operate an All Terrain Vehicle – Driving

• Get acquainted with all terrain vehicles first. Learn as many things as possible about these fascinating, tough machines. Surf the net, read the manuals and slough through magazines about them. Be sure to get to know and ask people who have actually used an ATV.

• Get use to the feel of driving first. First, observe how ATV drivers navigate the rough terrain. Ask them questions if you want. Try seating in one and imagine how you would control it when it is in motion. Do not try to go to really rugged terrain at once. Try the gentler, more manageable terrains in the beginning. Also, do not get on a three-wheel ATV at once. The four-wheel models are more stable and best for beginners. Learn to crawl before you walk.

• Get professional instruction. An all terrain driving instructor can help you learn and master driving an all terrain vehicle. There are also lectures about ATVs which you can attend. You can get reliable recommendations from ATV magazines.

All Terrain Vehicle Driving – Things to Consider

• Your first consideration if you want to drive an all terrain vehicle would be safety. Make sure that you are properly protected from any bump or spill that will most likely occur. Helmets, sturdy shoes, jackets and eye protection should be worn when you are driving an ATV. Injuries and deaths are not uncommon among ATV users.

• Second, you must be skilled and strong enough to control this powerful machine. Never underestimate it. They come with no suspension, except that offered by the tires. They also weigh up to 600 pounds so they are quite difficult to control. You are most likely to be tossed and bumped in all directions and strength to withstand this, and to control the wheel, are absolutely necessary.

•Third, never jeopardize the life of other people by attempting to drive an all terrain vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Moreover, never let a passenger ride with you especially if you are not that experienced. Most of these vehicles are designed to take on just one person – the driver. If you have to, check with the manufacturer if a passenger is allowed.

ATVs are for the adventurous, rugged type of people who love the challenge of controlling and mastering a powerful machine. It is not for the timid or the weak. But bravery without any ounce of precaution is still quite dangerous. You can enjoy all terrain vehicles but be wise enough to acquire the necessary skill before driving them.

“Electricity How” – Is That a Question?

The phrase: “Electricity How” – A conundrum at the least?

According to Google 368,000 searches on the keyword phrase “electricity how” were conducted globally in one month. What are people asking or looking for? Electrician Brisbane 24 hours is here to please you, from repairs, Diagnosis rectification work, New Appliances, Air conditioning to switchboard upgrades, safety switch installs

Certainly, electricity is one of the great mysteries.

On the one hand, it is everywhere in our ordinary daily lives. We simply wouldn’t know how to live without it today. Virtually everything we do is powered by electricity.

So, in one sense it is very familiar, and commonplace.

We also know it can be very dangerous, even lethal.

But, what is electricity?

I do not pretend to really understand it. But, I find it fascinating and worthy of discussion and speculation.

To that end, there is a website sited below I find entertaining and stimulating.

One of the missions of this site is to allow people to dialog and speculate and share information and ideas about electricity. Some things will be very down to earth and practical, others very esoteric and almost metaphysical.

This short article is intended to stimulate a discussion and get the ball rolling so to speak. You are invited to participate by leaving comments or contributing guest blogs.

Here are some thoughts from a non-scientist, non-electrician, non-historian, just a humble math teacher.

Our ancestors were vaguely aware of electricity in the form of lightening and static electrical sparks. They also were aware of magnetism via lodestones (were there any other magnetic materials they knew of?). However, they probably didn’t see much connection between these three phenomena. They probably didn’t think these things were very important. Til the house burned down, or the compass failed.

In the 1700’s Ben Franklin began to gain some understanding of electricity to the point he invented the lightning rod and the battery. In fact, one could argue the American Revolution hinged on Ben’s fame as a scientist when he visited France on the Revolution’s behalf.

In the 1800’s the great experimentalist Michael Faraday was the first to demonstrate the intimate connection between electric current and magnetic forces with his discovery of Faraday’s Laws. Then, the great physicist James Clerk Maxwell was able to construct a mathematical model of electromagnetism known as Maxwell’s Equations.

Thus, electricity and magnetism were irrevocably united. Indeed, one can not have one without the other. There is one Electromagnetic force. Magnets move and induce electric current, and current creates magnetic force.

Indeed, Maxwell’s equations became the basis of modern electrical technologies.

Furthermore, Maxwell’s equations yielded the concept of the electromagnetic wave, of which light is just one example. Electromagnetic waves travel at varying frequencies, but with one constant speed which is invariant regardless of the movement of the observer. This speed is called c, the speed of light.

This invariant speed of light in turn led the physicist Albert Einstein to create his famous Theory of Special Relativity in 1905. This totally altered forever our concept of time and space. (General Relativity in 1915 was an even greater tour de force which explained the relationship of mass and gravity to space-time, but that’s another story for another time.)

But, electricity was just getting warmed up!

The best was still ahead.

In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, the greatest electrical engineer of all time, Nikola Tesla, applied Maxwell’s equations and invented the AC electric dynamo which became the basis of our modern industrial revolution. The original was of course driven by mechanical and hydraulical (sic) concepts.

Then came the amazing Richard Feynman, et. al.

Quantum mechanics was developed by several great physicists in the early 1900’s. Guys like Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, and Dirac developed the quite unintuitive theory of quantum mechanics after Max Planck and Einstein made their observations of the quantum nature of light.

But, how did electricity fit in?

Feynman and others developed the first quantum treatment of electricity and light, known as QED, Quantum Electro Dynamics.

Talk about non-intuitive.

What is an electron?

Is it a point or a wave?

No one really knows. Both, neither, or something wholly mysterious?

When measured it seems to be always an infinitesimally small piece of matter with some mass and something called charge, and “spin”.

But, when observed it seems to somehow travel in all possible paths from one point to another simultaneously with most of the paths somehow canceling out. This is indisputable and is what explains many otherwise mysterious phenomena.

Indeed, it can be experimentally verified that an electron somehow passes through two slits at the same time. This is the famous double slit experiment that verifies the amazing quantum equations governing the electron’s behavior

This can probably be best understood by a layman by reading Feynman’s great book, QED. In my opinion, this is the best “look” into the mind of a genius that exists.

If this confuses you, you are in good company. And, I don’t mean “yours truly” even though I don’t pretend to even begin to understand it all.

And, I haven’t even mentioned Bell’s Theorem which is truly mind blowing. I may discuss it and several other ideas in an expanded article on the website.

Oh yes. The better company?

The brilliant physicist of QED fame, Nobel Prize winner, Richard Feynman, said that anyone who claims to understand QED proves they don’t understand it at all. And, He invented it.

The so called “wave” is a mathematical “fiction”. The electron satisfies a mathematical differential equation called the Schrödinger Wave Equation. But, its solutions are what are called complex functions. They don’t really have any intuitive physical interpretation. The Equation just happens to be similar in form to equations that do represent real physical waves. But, in this situation there is nothing physical they model. Their solution is called “amplitudes”, which yield probabilities when “squared”.

So, here we are in the 21st century. Much of our modern technology, think Laser et al, rests on QED, which in turn is a theory we have no real physical understanding of other that what can be described as “weird” physical experiments.

Of course, nature also depends on this weird physics. Recently, it has been discovered that photosynthesis, the basis of all life on earth, depends on a quantum mechanical effect.

God only knows where Bell’s Theorem will lead us. Perhaps Dr. William Tiller’s great ideas will help us. Another discussion for another day.

Well, this article just scratches the surface of addressing the question of “Electricity How”. I don’t even know whether to end it in a period or question mark.

And, to engage in the further conversation you are invited to visit us at [http://electricityhow.com/] and leave your comments. Oh yes, there is an interesting free report there on Practical Electricity too.
