Drench the spot with warm water & couple drops of soap (i used dish washing soap). Let it sit for about a min then hose it down. If you don't have a hose, use a damp micro fibre cloth to absorb it. Don't scrub it, birds dropping has seed pits that will scratch your car.

Old juicy wet washcloth on it for a while and spray with garden hose. Microfiber if you need to rub lightly.
What's good for tree sap drips?

I keep a drenched chamois in my trunk and use that to remove bird sh** (my biggest enemy in life seems to be dreaded bird sh**, lol). With a good coat of wax you usually can dab the crap and it'll just come off, or at lease lose its bond with the clear coat. However, if it's too "on there", I'll grab an MF and Quick Detailer to get it off much easier.
I try and be really careful with the water and chamois since I would rather not "wipe" with that method (I'd rather dab with it). If I do some VERY light wiping with the chamois/water and the markings don't come off, I'll move on to dab or rub with the MF and QD (I'd rather rub with that method if I have to, as it's safer). Lots of times if the bird crap is on there for even minutes you'll get a permanent impression in the clear coat. It sucks but it's not noticeable unless under bright light when you're really looking for it. Insane to think that with all our technological advances these days, they can't invent a clear coat which simply will withstand bird sh**. I mean, you'd think by now they'd have clear coats which are totally scratch resistant. Automotive Paint/Clear Coat "technology" must be the slowest moving sector in the world. |

what do you recommend? is it possible to bring my car to the dealer and ask them to clean that sh**t? i don't think they want to clean that one. i hope it is not permanent . i am going to bring my car to the detailing shop before going back to my lovely country(Indonesia) in June until September (summer holiday). if i bring my car to the detailing shop, i think it's too early.

Just get som Surfex-HD, dilute it 1 to 20 parts water. Spray on leave it for 5 minutes and rinse of with a high pressure washer. There is nothing this stuff doesn't shift. If you take it to a pro detailer, this is likely what they will do anyway. Just make sure it doesn't dry on the paint. Best not do this outdoors as it dries quick with a bit of wind and sun etc and then it might stain your paint.

Yeah, you're right. I cleaned it but still have dry transparent poop remains on the hood. I don't think with jet water can make it clean. I'm going to bring my car to the brown bear and clean that poop using their soap and wipe gently with MF. I hope it's clean.
