Bird S**t

[Tazza]

What advice for removing baked on bird s**t?

Are there and sprays/cloths/witchcraft that anyone would recommend? SHMBO tends to find the car at the end of the day under several large splats of bird s**t which spend the day getting baked on. She would probably leave them for a few years, but I'd rather do something. Sometimes nothing short of a chisel would do the trick, so alternatives would be helpful.

Thanks

Soak a paper tissue - kitchen roll is fine - & put it on the mess.
Leave it to soak until it's softened enough to wipe away. May take a little while & re-apply water to the tissue as necessary.
If you just leave it you may well find it's etched into the paint & that's panel respray time.

I've been off work for a couple of days on a course

I've just been in to collect my van and it's had a direct it from what can only be described as a heron that eats creosote and tar

It just won't budge. Even with the petrol station jet wash. It's outside now with washing up liquid softening it up

I've removed some fairly Pterodactylic deposits by leaving a wet microfiber on the pile overnight.
