Hi,

I understand it's important to remove bird poo as quickly as possible.

I've seen Auto Glym do bird dropping wipes but they seem a little expensive for what they are.

Please share what you keep in your car in the event of removing the unwanted drops on the car.

Many thanks

I only ever remove bird st when my car is parked, seems too risky otherwise.

I carry a 50ml bottle of detail spray (from a 1l bottle of concentrate) and a microfibre cloth in my door pocket.

I saw these and tried them - they leave an oily residue on the car.

I'd go with the detailing spray in side pocket.

And with only dealing with it when car not in motionsmile.

think I'd prefer something disposable? Do you throw the microfibre away or bring it and the poo back into the car?


Try baby wipes, amazing what they'll remove wink

If bringing a soiled rag into the car is an issue, a ziplock bag followed by washing machine? But I remind the jury of the Top Gear BMW convertible test, which suggested the bird faeces might be the least of your worries...

I've used baby wipes and hand wipes and the same problem - oily, soapy residue. If you think I'm being anal, I'd plead that this is the detailing sub-forum where such behaviour is expected and condonedsmile.

I suppose IPA wipes might be a good solution.

I bring it and the poo and the spray residue back into the car.

If it was a particularly large splat I'll fold the cloth and put it in for washing later.

You can never have too many microfibre cloths.

I use the williams waterless wash decanted into a small bottle, a microfibre cloth and a plastic bag.

Works really well...
