Whenever I see bird poo on my 911 (the neighbours' tree overhangs my drive) I wipe it off immediately. This happens 2 or 3 times a week. Imagine my shock last week to see (no exaggeration) about 200 red blobs over the front and rear of the car; I think the pigeons have been eating hawthorn berries. I have jet washed the car, however 2 or 3 have eaten into the lacquer
1. Aside from parking elsewhere or using a cover, what is the best method of preventing damage - just a good layer of wax all the time?
2. The bumper and drivers front wing are marked. Is this something that a detailer will be able to put right? Or is it more serious than that?

Hi Dave, sorry to hear that! I'd cut the tree down!
There isn't really a product which will completely stop the effects of bird lime on a cars paintwork, you are doing the right thing getting rid of it ASAP, there are some products out there which will slow down the effects but im yet to find a product which actually stops it outright. Wax is not the the best solution for this age old problem, I would suggest a liquid glass sealant, in my experience they are the best in the war on bird poo! A detailer certainly will be able to improve the affected areas, just depends how bad it is!
