Driving people will always encounter such troubles. No matter winter or summer, once the car is parked under a tree, it is very likely that the bird on the tree will be used as a toilet, leaving you a bunch of greetings, which is often helpless. Although bird droppings seem to be small, they are acidic and have serious corrosive effects on car paint. If they adhere to the car for a long time, they will also erode the painted surface into an uneven state. So once you find bird droppings marks on your car, be sure to remove it as soon as possible. And the sooner it is cleaned, the easier it will be to remove. Over time, the bird droppings are completely dry and hard on the car, and a circle of marks may appear, which is very troublesome to deal with.
Some people habitually use hard objects such as keys and knives to scrape the dirt directly, which is not only difficult to clean thoroughly, but also more likely to scratch the paint and cause more serious corrosion. So how to clean bird droppings without hurting the paint?
The first trick: use detergent. Use diluted car cleaner or neutral household detergent on the bird droppings, then cover it with a paper towel, pour a layer of detergent, and then wipe it off with a soft cloth. In this way, the dirt will float on the paint, and no matter how hard it sets, it can be easily removed.
The second trick: wet wipes. Sometimes when you are away from home and there is no detergent at hand, you can use wet paper towels for emergency treatment. We can stack several wet wipes on top of the bird droppings, soften the bird droppings with the alcohol in the wipes, and then wipe them off. After that, it’s best to wipe it down again with the cleaner when it’s convenient.
It should also be noted that when choosing a cleaning agent, it is best to use an asphalt cleaner, which has a better effect on dirt such as bird droppings and gum.
