It’s summertime! The sun is shining, butterflies are flying, and the birds are singing (and pooping on your car). You may not see an urgent need to clean the bird droppings off your car, but it can do more damage than you probably think. Can bird droppings actually hurt your car’s paint finish?
Yes! Bird droppings can actually hurt the paint of your vehicle and are why you should remove it right away. Bird droppings are more than just annoying and ugly to look at they are corrosive enough to eat through wax or paint on your vehicle. Here is the science behind it. Bird poop contains Uric Acid and Uric Acid is corrosive enough to eat past your car’s wax job or paint sealant and then begin to eat away at your car's paint.
The Solution:
You can remove bird droppings using club soda, let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe with a soft cloth.
By removing bird droppings quickly, you will not only keep your vehicle looking good, it too, will protect the paint of your vehicle.
