Fruit Bats

[BlueRaven]

Okay, so i've got a problem I hope someone out there can help me with.

We have 3 large palms in our front yard that are bearing fruit at the moment. Unfortunately the fruit is somewhat out of our reach and we do not posses the means to remove it, so we are hoping to have the trees removed this weekend.

Why is this fruit a problem? Fruit Bats.

Fruit bats come, eat the fruit from the trees and fly off. However during this all this fun activity, the fruit bats sh*t on our car in the driveway and anything else in their path.

Its been explained to me that the fruit has citrix acid qualities, so when its left on the car for a few days it strips the paint.

I was unlucky enough to not see a 'blob' of the stuff on the roof on the passengers side of the car. Consequently, yesterday the paint had coiled in one section, forcing me to pull it off. There is now a base coat staring back at me about the size of a 20 cent peice.

There are a few other (far smaller) bits missing on the roof as well, thanks to these wonderful animals, and some spots on the bonnet that have lost some of the 'shine'.

So firstly, im warning you from these animals. This is an AUII, so we sort of expected the paint job to last a bit longer than this.

Secondly, does anyone have an idea what we need to do to fix it and what it would cost??

Thanks,

Andy
