Bird Turds on my PPW
Hey guys, I keep getting these annoying little Bird Turds on my Z. They aren't like giant white globs of turds from a seagull or anything. They are these little brownish circular types of turds. I really can't figure it out. I don't park underneath a tree or any power lines. Yet everyday when I get out of work I have these weird little Bird Turds all over my Z. When I wash my car they don't come off when you scrub with normal pressure either, it's like I have to pick them off with my finger nail. I guess it could be from some other smaller bird. Obviously not a seagull. Some little type of bird perhaps. I really don't want to have to get a car cover, but if I can't prevent this from happening I will probably have to. Thanks for your help.

Either 1) get a car cover, 2) wash it daily
If you leave bird crap on your paint, it will eat through in short order.

The reason it doesn't come off easily is that it's dried. You have to soak it good to dissolve it some before trying to wash clean. You need to get a couple coats of a good wax/polish on the car to help repel the droppings and make it easier to wash. Come to the Zaino Luke!

I was just wondering if there was anything else I could do that you guys might know of. And it's not pigeons. The turds are too small to be pigeons. hmmmm.....it could be sparrows.

artillary fungus
what you have are the spores of an artillary fungus that is usually found in mulch. after rains usually this fungus shoots out these spores. the longer they sit on your car the harder they are to remove. i have to polish each one individually to remove. i am a car detailer, and it took me many years to figure this little mystery out. there is no easy solution, but do not park near that mulch.

^^^^^I park in the middle very far end of the parking lot....about 20 yards from and type of vegetation, and it is mostly on the side of the car not close to the greenery. I'm going to start throwing a cover on my car.

I also have the same problem with Bird crap on my PPW. Here's what I use, and the crap comes off pretty easily. I would recommend spraying it on the same day as the crap:
