Re: How to safely remove a dried bird dropping by Mike Phillips
Great tips! I also always use warm to hot water. It seems to remove it quicker.

Re: How to safely remove a dried bird dropping by Mike Phillips
I plan to cut a microfiber towel into pieces that I can use for this purpose instead of using an entire towel as I have in the past. Keep the pieces with "emergency" detailing supplies already in the car, use a piece and toss it in the trash.

The birds always manage to land their dropping right where there is some sort of seam that makes it super tough to get out. It's like they know....

Great article Mike. Seems the birds always find my car from Spring to Fall. I have no trees on my property but my neighbors have them. Guess the birds flight path is over my car.

The Robins up here in Michigan are horrible polluters of vehicle finishes. They leave the biggest messes of all the birds in their size category...
And of course... They are our state bird...

This is why I always drive around with a high powered air BBC gun. You gotta take these pesky birds out whenever you see them around your house

Hi mike, using a tissue/toilet paper/kitchen towel soaked with water is more economical. U do not have to sacrifice a MF cloth. Cheers!
And I think he does make a good point except for two things...
1: Paper - if you're not careful can mar or scratch paint. Not a big deal on the top of a side mirror but what if the bird dropping was smack-dab in the center of a highly polished and perfected black hood?
2: We don't sell tissue/toilet paper/kitchen towels - we sell microfiber towels.
It's all good, big picture is use water - held in place - to soften and liquefy the dried bird dropping to make it safer and easier to remover.

Here in South Jersey....we have seagulls...lots and lots of seagulls. If you live near a blueberry farm, there are flocks of them which 'carpet bomb' your car......with lovely blueberry juice-tinted droppings. They are rats with wings
