Cat repellent cleaning products.

[Liquid Knight]

I own a really rather nice Alfa Spider...



...and have an issue with a local cat that likes to sleep on the roof.

Usually the same day or day after I wash and give the old girl a polish I have muddy paw prints up my bonnet, windscreen and hood with a mass of fur in the middle I have to keep brushing off.

Are there are car cleaning products or polishes that have a cat repellent quality?

I'd rather not resort to using Claymore mines around my garden.

I've got scratches down my Bravo bonnet where the furry little felines slid on the fresh polish. I've tried granules, ultrasonic boxes and metal decoys but none have worked as yet.

Rosemary and Lavender have helped but it's almost Winter and the plants are less potent.

Lavender car shampoo?

Colour is a key. My Oplime green MGF no problem, but my dark grey MX5 and black MX5 were like catnip (or catnap).

It's somewhere to sleep I guess and convertible tops have little insulation and are warmer than tin tips.

Lavender car shampoo won't work as the smell would wear off. How about lavender washer fluid and make sure to soak the windscreen before you leave the car?

Might work.

Lavender washing up liquid in the screen bottle appears to have worked.

The roof of my car has been fur free for a week and no paw prints on the bodywork anywhere.

Why would you wax your windscreen?

The residual water tends to go over the car when you use the washer jets.

Alfa Spider the washers are on the wiper arms and convertible so no issue there. I see your point though.

Maybe adding Lavender flavoring to your regular wash would have the same effect.
