Tips and Tricks: How to safely remove a dried bird bomb or bird dropping

Here's this technique used on a real, dried bird dropping. When I originally wrote this article I had to use simulated bird dropping.

Take a clean microfiber polishing cloth, fold it four ways to create a thick, plush wiping cloth.

Wet the cloth with water until the entire cloth is saturated but not to the point where water is running down the hood. The idea is to have plenty of water present to soak into the dried bird dropping.

Note: For health safety reasons it's a good idea to wear gloves when doing this.

Also, dispose of towel in a sanitary manner.

That's just because of how I wiped the water off... if I were to spray water onto the paint it would bead right up...

The bird dropping in this article actually left a Type I Bird Dropping Topical Stain Etching in the Ceramiclear finish.


:)

Would it be bad just to power-wash it off?

Glad I had dinner already! :detailer:

i was waiting for this thread...damage was done already, twice. now i know what to do :-)
