Beware the bird poo!

[FuzzyPanda]

Spotted a bit of bird poo on my car today. It wasn't the usual white crap (haha) but more like a spattering of a thinner liquid. Perhaps the bird had an indian the night before.

Anyway! Today was car clean day so thought I'd show you what bird poo can do if left untouched for a few days. This was after washing and drying the car:

Bam, stained paintwork. Comes off with undiluted car shampoo and a bit of elbow. Beware the bird turd!

Could be bat crap - they're particularly nasty as well :yuck:

See my sig for the solution! Bird crap can indeed fccuk your paintwork up. The lime in it can permanently mark your car if you don't clear it off within a few days in summer

i hate it lol, especially when the whole car is thickly covered in it with tree sap too

it never did clean up any good tbh, i spent hours and hours with rubbing compound trying to get it off, and it wouldnt, it was still on there :bang:

The Seagulls (Aka flying cows) around here have been eating something strange recently.. Their poop is usually white but I've seen a few bright purple ones.. Almost looks like someone has been busy with a paintball marker!

I've polished a few bird burns out in the past. Never anything that bad looking before tho.
