Bird Poop

It seems like discussing the removal of bird poop shouldn’t be had unless the age of it is taken into account.
Using baking soda etc is a bit of overkill for newer deposits IMO. Simple water or a detail spray and care while removing is more than sufficient for fresh or new bombs.

In your opinion...
How long (age) does it take for a bird bomb
to no longer be considered fresh or new?

I agree, that, within just 5 minutes (of aging)
bird bombs can be very detrimental to paint.

As such:
Unless I’m there when they make their initial
contact, I won’t totally dismiss the use of a
baking soda treatment to remove bird bombs.
