Bird Dropping Car Wipes
Another effective custom-built product is the bird dropping car wipe. These plush bamboo fiber towels are specifically made to dissolve dried-on poop without changing the makeup of the paint underneath.
The wipes work well at neutralizing acidic content and are relatively inexpensive compared to other options. You can easily dispose of the wipes in the trash after you’re finished—they decompose naturally.
Too much time spent allowing bird droppings to adhere to your bodywork can cause their corrosive compounds to solidify and fuse onto the surface, shattering paint or leaving an unsightly topical stain behind. It’s best to involve a professional because a simple clean won’t be enough to address these unsightly scars.
A trustworthy auto body shop can perform paint matching, which involves using a sophisticated camera to determine the exact color code of your paint. The technician then achieves a perfect finish by blending in a suitable substitute with the remaining panel.
Baking Soda and Hot Water
A well-known “old school” technique for clearing away stray bird droppings involves mixing bicarbonate soda and hot water to make a soluble mixture.
Transfer one liter of heated water directly from the faucet (no need to bring the kettle to a boil) into a spray bottle and incorporate four tablespoons of baking soda. Give it a good shake, spray the affected area with the solution, and let it soak for about ten minutes.
After the mixture has had time to break down the droppings, mist it with clean water. Avoid attempting to remove it initially as its rough texture may cause scratches on your vehicle.
Clay decontamination products have been used by automotive detailers for a long time to remove various unsightly stains, such as bird droppings.
Despite their name, these powerful products are made of a combination of absorbent materials such as polymer rubber and synthetic resins rather than actual clay. Because of its elastic nature, the product can fit into small spaces and is useful in difficult-to-reach areas.
Choose a mild or soft version in your preferred style, such as bars, mitts, or towels. After washing and drying your car, give the troublesome area a few spritzes of clay bar lubricant. Next, carefully move your selected medium over the stain in both directions. After you are satisfied with the outcome, give the panel a quick rinse with fresh water and let it air dry.
In the pet industry, specially made spray-on dropping removers are well-liked for their hassle-free ability to clean out a birdcage. These durable yet non-corrosive products are also effective at removing bird droppings from car surfaces without affecting the clear coat.
To soften the dried feces, spray the substance onto the dropping and let it sit for ten minutes. Use your hose to clean the surface, then allow the car to air dry naturally.
