I hear ya. Have put 2 coats of Zaino on this week (club events this weekend) and came out to go to lunch today and car had been bombarded. But as posted above, wet paper towel and it softens right up and comes off, and if you have a good coat (or 20) of Zaino, no blemishes. I keep a mini-bottle of detail spray in the the spare tire compartment just for sh*t like that

 

worst experience I had was bird poop somehow landing between the seat and the edge of the door frame, inside. I guess the wind made it travel sideways enough to hit that target. It was a pain to clean up.

 

Dude, when the told you to go to the beach and get ****-faced, that's NOT what they meant!!!

 

I know this is probably the most random first post in the history of the boards, but I've had something like that happen to me.

I was going rather quickly towards my house and it is at the bottom of a big hill followed by lots of left and right curves. I hear something and look over to my right to see my girlfriend's face covered in a nice amount of bird poop. It landed in her hair, got on my seats, and hit the inside of the frame. All I could do was laugh my *** off since the bird's poop somehow managed to hit me going at least 70 around curves. It was just meant to happen.

 

Oops slight thread jack but, had a sunburst yellow S15 before my 350 and yeah, I could guarantee as soon as it had been cleaned or even while cleaning every bug in a 10km radius would land on the car, and don't start me about long trips, was like a bit yellow bug mortuary. Bit like a bumble bee coz of the all the dead bugs. lol. It's because of the ultraviolet rays that yellow projects. Think of buttercups and dandelions, same thing I guess.

Back to thread. Often get bird doos on car and I always make sure to promptly get some cleaner wax and a bit of fresh wax on the effected area has been best way to keep my Z looking great. Acid in bird dropping will eat through just about any wax I've ever come across, irrespective of quality.

 

I WAS going to suggest that the next time you're at the beach, toss up some Alka-Seltzer tablets to the seagulls...

BUT then I read this:

Ask an Expert for January 17, 2003
Question: Can birds burp? I use to live near South Padre Island and it is reported that if you feed a sea gull an Alka Seltzer tablet they will explode.

Answer:

It is an old urban myth that seagulls will explode if they eat an Alka Seltzer. We burp because gaseous byproducts are produced in digestion and forced up through the esophagus (See KidsHealth for a good explanation). Birds have a different digestive system than humans, though they do have an esophagus and are capable of burping. Birds have no teeth and many swallow their food whole or hold it in their crop to regurgitate. For more of bird digestion see Colorado State University's online biomedical textbook, which includes a chapter on the Digestive Physiology of Birds.
