My Rogue, birds and me

[maverick_rogue]

Is it just my Rogue or is it that birds love Rogue more than any other car ?

Every evening on my way back home, I spend ten extra minutes doing the cleaning of my otherwise shining Rogue.

My wife says its natures revenge for not doing enough diapers change .

Jokes apart...how do you manage birds droppings? Is there anything we can do so that those shining (?) spots do not become permanent marks? Any coatings? Any Ultrasound whistle?

Please dont get me wrong here. I love birds. I just dont like what they do on my car... that too without asking me....

Thanks.

I use quick detailer to remove bird droppings. Make sure you get a good coat of wax (natural or synthetic) that will help keep the bird crap from etching and softening your paint.

I've heard that spraying windex on those bird droppings neutralizes the acids or whatever contained in them that's harmful to the paint. I can't absolutely verify it, but what I've done is just given it a few sprays if I wasn't able to wash it off till the next day or whatever.

Windex is basically a weak base (ammonia), so it definately will neutralize any acids in the bird crap, no question, but the unknown is what the effect of the Windex is on the paint job, I can't say, but if you wipe it off right away I doubt it'll do any dramatic damage....

I can't recommend what to use to remove bird crap except a wash.... but my "Iridium graphite" is definitely attracting lots of bird crap then any other car I've owned....
