Cleaning off bird poo?

**Jimp45** · 07-06-2008,05:58 PM

I had to give my car a good scrub down today since it got COVERED in bird crap where it was parked yesterday

I got it all off with some cloth and water, but some of it was a bit tough and some spots weren't left overly shiny. Is there a better way to clean it off?

Soak it with a detailing spray or similar, then try to hose or rinse it off as much as possible.
It's full of grit etc, so very easy to scratch the paint if you try to rub it off.
Is evil bird ****.

Wet a cloth with very hot water and leave it on the poo for a few minutes before you wash the car.

lol, im watching this thread intently.

i was lucky enough to get home before most of it (LINK) had baked itself to the paintwork (and windows...and dashboard...and leather seats...and sister) so it just came off pretty easy with a damp cloth.

Don't know what the pigeons at work eat....
One time, I'd sealed the car on the sunday, went to work at 6am and was poo on it, got home at about 12 and washed it off, and it had etched the lacquer.
So about 6 hours on freshly sealed paint, evil!

Ice Cubes, or get a spare wash mitt and sit it in shampoo and let is soak for a while.

the trick is to do it as soon as you see it, dont leave it any longer, as it depends on what the evil thing has eaten, warm water and leave it for 5-10mins will do the trick.
