Bird droppings and tree pitch?

warhorseGT · 06-05-2008, 05:53 PM

Say, any suggestions on how to safely remove those two disgusting things from our nice paint?
I have to park outside now, while my nice new car gets abused by friggin birds and tree sap.
I soo want to catch a bunch of birds, put em in a cage, take a bunch of exlax, or whatever and crap all over them winged featherd lizard sob's. It is interesting to note that one never see's huge bird craps on the ground-its always on something you never want that disgusting crap to be.
Please help with info!

Depending on the severity of the avian defacation, I either get the whole car washed at a touchless carwash. Or use a MF cloth with some Mothers Quick Detailer, making sure to use the Quick Detailer generously so as not to scratch my paint with hardened feces.

Quick detailer for the bird droppings, don't "scrub" them off, that will scratch the paint, spray and let it sit then wipe over it once or twice and reapply if needed.

For tree sap, if it's fresh any bug/tar/sap remover should work, if it gets baked on there from the sun, I've had very good luck with Stoner's Tarminator.

Found some Turtle wax bug and tar remover, works good so far(all I could find). Haven't tried the pitch yet, although I found some weird reddish stains, I think from the leaky old garage it was in for winter. I tried some meguires nxt soap on the red stuff-would barely remove it-kinda freaked me out. Tried the turtle wax stuff-was a newer version, and it wasn't easy, but easier-the marks came out.
Now that I can get past the bird turds, the freakish red stains, and hopefully the pitch off of her, then I can fully clean it-weather permitting, and wax er up good.
I will be trying some Mothers Quick Detailer soon too.
Thank you soo much for some info!
