My 981 is drawing some unwanted attention from the birds. It seems to be a magnet for bird st. I keep some baby wipes in the car, but wonder if anyone has a better alternative?

I use Autoglym bird dropping remover wipes. Very effective.

I use pigeon spikes where they used to perch - also very effective.

It may be worth looking at proper preparation and then application of a suitable Gtechniq nano coating. I had Gtechniq applied with a top coat of Gtechniq Crystal Serum professionally applied and it has certainly made removal very easy and it doesn't leave the acid etching in the paint lacquer.

That little Micra has been pelted with such force that the rear has moved two feet. It can be the only explanation...

Bizarrely, used tea-bags are good at getting bird-poo off, especially if still warm!

'Still warm' - is that the tea bags or the bird poo?!

Suggest you hand around with birds with a bit more class - Chelsea girls would never do anything like that!
