Birds have no respect..

[alexman]

Whats the best way to clean bird poop off of a roadster hood. I've gotten most of it off with water and towel but I still have a brownish patch.. :evil:

 

[sammyz]

It's acid so you need to wash it off asap. It will leave an etch in the paint otherwise.

I had asked the same question, but got no answers. I think you need to brush the hood with plenty of water, not with towel, then clean the hood with proper soft-top cleaner when you wash the car.

Just to double check do you mean "Soft Top" or "Bonnet/Hood"

 

[ksher]

If Alexman is American, then he means bonnet. If he is from Europe, then he means the fabric roof.

You would think it would be the bonnet (hood) as the birds think its a pool of water they are c*apping in/on :lol:

I thought bird poo was only as acidic/alkaline as the food they ate, so unless you do a litmus test on it you'll never know which product is appropriate (different ones to neutralise acids & alkalines) to use on it.

Don't know where you'd get litmus paper from though.

I've had bird poop on my roof only the once. I brushed it off whilst it was dry, rather than wet it and rub it in. It wasn't a massive poop, so it rubbed of fairly well, with just a few crumbs left behind that eventually worked their way out too.

Mine gets sh@t on all the time, joys of living by the sea! They've only got the roof twice, both times I've brushed off when dry and then used the autoglym kit to wash and protect afterwards comes up a treat afterward. The paintwork gets a good covering at least once a week, have been pressure washing it off as I haven't got time to detail the car as often as it gets cr@pped on!

I tell you, you guys are too forgiving... if a bird s**t on my car I most certainly would not go out with her again! :roll:

... I would also make her clean it off herself!!

If I see some guy in Liverpool with a litmus test kit checking the bird poo on his coupe I'll know who it is!

I just use my tongue - I'm used to bird s**t now :| (they're a dirty bunch round here).

As the saying goes, "Politics is like oral sex. One slip of the tongue and you're in the s**t."

England and America are two countries separated by a common language...

I keep a bottle of Meguires spray and mist in my trunk for just that occasion. I think time is the issue obviously the sooner you get it off the better.

Amen to that. I'm thinking about taking an English speaking program before I go

America is not a country, the United States of America is a country. Trivia question I failed oh so many times in History class.

Since that’s a quote from George Bernard Shaw he also must have not done well in history...

When I had a farbic roof, I had a spray bottle of a Woolite/water mix I used for fabric cleaning, as a soft brush. I don't really have a problem with bird poo since I got the M. Last summer, I was parked on the street outside my office and looking down I noticed several passers-by were slowing to stare at the right rear fender. Thinking something was up, I went outside to check on the car. There was a bit of bird crap on the fender - and a dead pigeon lying on the ground next to the spot. I don't know what happened, but the city's birds have left my car alone ever since. :?
