Bird Poo Stains - How To Remove

[armoilers]

Alright was looking at my car today and found some bird decided to have a stomach ache over bits of my car.

These are those small worm-looking stains that are yellow and LEAVE a yellow stain on my white paint!

I imagine a lot of us here have white Skylines so would have the same problem?

How have you guys gotten bird doo stains off?

I have tried using Armour-all Goo-remover, put on polish then taken it off, Meguires Scratch X...list is growing...pain is growing.

Thanks for any help

Mine's white, I have the same problem too. I usually wet it with water, then with soap water, that works well for me, but I'm assuming you've tried that already. Argh, damn birds.

i think its got something to do with a average quality clear coat due to the age of these cars.

newer cars tend not to have this issue it seems with my other cars

Hi.

Try boiling water with washing up detergent and use rubber gloves rub it on and hose off. Is also the way to get tree sap off effectively.

gosh boiling water really!?!??!

will give it a go - hopefully doesnt hurt my paint

Hi.

I will rephrase to hot water and no it wont hurt your paint.

When a radiator boils over, the water temp doesn't affect the paint.

When you park the car in the hot sun and the temp gets up to 100 degrees it doesn't ruin the paint either.

So yes... have a go...

If your paint needs compounding later on,...

Wash > High Quality Polish > Sealant > Canauba Wax > more resistant to bird poo stain

i cut/polish after removing the harder parts, then liquid wax - buff with a microfibre towel

x3 on the hot hot water.

Obviously the sooner the better. As soon as you see some rush in and boil the jug!

Takes it off no troubles at all. Then just give it a wipe and a touch up with polish if need be.
