The thing about bird poop is that it tends to be sticky, tacky, and eventually dries to a cement-like consistency that’s not conducive to gentle cleaning. Bird poop can also be highly acidic, which is bad news for your paint, too.Article contentBirds eat and poop a lot of hard and abrasive things, including seeds, shells, and even gravel, which helps them digest. Though small, these particles are often present in their poop after it’s spattered, dried, and adhered itself to your car’s paint.
To safely clean bird mess from my paint, I mix a small, concentrated pail of warm water and mild car wash soap appropriate for any finishes that may have been applied to my paint. Never use dish soap — your car’s paint isn’t dishes.
