Bird droppings can cause serious damage to your car’s paint if not addressed quickly. Here’s how to prevent and remove them effectively:


Why Bird Droppings Are Harmful

  • Acidic Content: Droppings contain acids that can eat away at your car’s clear coat and paint.

  • Hard to Remove: Once dried, droppings are abrasive and can scratch your car during removal.


Prevention Tips

  1. Park Strategically: Avoid parking under trees or power lines.

  2. Apply Protective Coatings: Wax or ceramic coatings can create a barrier against acidic substances.

  3. Use a Car Cover: Especially when parking for extended periods.


How to Remove Bird Droppings Safely

  • Use a microfiber cloth and a dedicated bird-dropping remover or waterless wash spray.

  • Gently dab the area instead of scrubbing to avoid scratches.

  • Rinse and apply wax or sealant to the cleaned area.
