I have a Renault Scenic, 2 yrs old. Last week whilst giving it a clean, I noticed that where some bird much had been it has totally removed the paint right down to the undercoat. After carefully inspecting the bonnet, I noticed a number of other places where the paint has been severely affected by bird muck. I took it to the dealer, who referred it to the body shop and the outcome is that Renault will not cover it under warranty and its not likely to be covered by insurance so I now have to pay £200 - 300 to have it repaired, as its a lease car.
The body shop even told me it can take as lillte as 24 hours for bird muck to remove modern paints. So am I supposed to wash my car daily and run out every hour and check is hasn't been shat on!
To my mind whats the point of painting a car with paint that isn't bird muck proof. I have never had a car that has suffered like this and birds are hardly a new and unforseen problem.
Has anyone else had any similar experiences?
