don't scratch it for starters. Can you spray it with water and soak it first and once its all runny, you should be be able to wipe it off.

Drench the spot with warm water & couple drops of soap (i used dish washing soap). Let it sit for about a min then hose it down. If you don't have a hose, use a damp micro fibre cloth to absorb it. Don't scrub it, birds dropping has seed pits that will scratch your car.

Old juicy wet washcloth on it for a while and spray with garden hose. Microfiber if you need to rub lightly.

What's good for tree sap drips?

I just tried what you asked me to do. it does not work at all, i can make the poop gone but not for the trace. there is still some poop remains on the hood . i do not know what i should do next. do i need to bring my car to the detailing car and ask them to make the remains gone?

I keep a drenched chamois in my trunk and use that to remove bird sh** (my biggest enemy in life seems to be dreaded bird sh**, lol). With a good coat of wax you usually can dab the crap and it'll just come off, or at lease lose its bond with the clear coat. However, if it's too "on there", I'll grab an MF and Quick Detailer to get it off much easier.

I try and be really careful with the water and chamois since I would rather not "wipe" with that method (I'd rather dab with it). If I do some VERY light wiping with the chamois/water and the markings don't come off, I'll move on to dab or rub with the MF and QD (I'd rather rub with that method if I have to, as it's safer).

Lots of times if the bird crap is on there for even minutes you'll get a permanent impression in the clear coat. It sucks but it's not noticeable unless under bright light when you're really looking for it.

Insane to think that with all our technological advances these days, they can't invent a clear coat which simply will withstand bird sh**. I mean, you'd think by now they'd have clear coats which are totally scratch resistant. Automotive Paint/Clear Coat "technology" must be the slowest moving sector in the world.

what do you recommend? is it possible to bring my car to the dealer and ask them to clean that sh**t? i don't think they want to clean that one. i hope it is not permanent . i am going to bring my car to the detailing shop before going back to my lovely country(Indonesia) in June until September (summer holiday). if i bring my car to the detailing shop, i think it's too early.

Just get som Surfex-HD, dilute it 1 to 20 parts water. Spray on leave it for 5 minutes and rinse of with a high pressure washer. There is nothing this stuff doesn't shift. If you take it to a pro detailer, this is likely what they will do anyway. Just make sure it doesn't dry on the paint. Best not do this outdoors as it dries quick with a bit of wind and sun etc and then it might stain your paint.

What if it appears that an impressions is left on the clear coat? What's the best thing to do? Wet Sand?

[slownfast]

That dropping bird stays on the clear coat right now . I think best think to do is wet sand and do polishing.

[slownfast]

I hope the dealer can clean that for me . Im so bad with my car right now

[ajandhek]

Take it to the car wash with the pressurized washers it'll take right off...it's jus bird poo for heavens sake

[slownfast]

Yeah, you're right. I cleaned it but still have dry transparent poop remains on the hood. I don't think with jet water can make it clean. I'm going to bring my car to the brown bear and clean that poop using their soap and wipe gently with MF. I hope it's clean.

Surfex HD and a high pressure washer and it's gone. Takes you five minutes.

Where can i buy surfex HD?
