Act quickly
Bird droppings can stain or damage paint, especially in strong sun. Remove them as soon as you notice them.
Safe removal
- Do not scrape dry droppings.
- Soften the area with water or a wet microfiber towel.
- Lift the dirt gently.
- Wash the area with car shampoo.
- Dry and inspect the paint.
Prevention
Parking location matters. Coating or wax can also make droppings easier to remove, but it does not prevent all damage.
