I just use baby wipes and dab the poo until it comes off. Reduces the risk I guess. just had to clean quite a lot there. Been there for any where upto 10 hours so had all day to bake in the sun. Nothing worse when it isn't just a drop but when it's slappered all over in tiny dots
is it always on your drive, could be you have a nest nearby or place where they roost. otherwise ceramic coat the car.
just thought how about one of those big plastic hawks that office building use to keep pigeons away... coudl stick it to your roof and drive around.... think ive found a new business idea lol

Ceramic coat? Mine was just done by a detailer and in a day it burnt through. Tried to agitate it, covered in swirls now.
Car is going back in to have a scuff mopped out of the bonnet, looks like something marked it while Audi had it. Ceramic coat the bonnet again, nightmare especially at £100 a time.. thats just one panel. He's having a look at the roof as well after the bird discharge burnt through it.
I feel everyones pain here, recently went away for the weekend and found the parking was under a tree, went to pub car splatted with bird poo, cleaned it off went to pub, came back more poo. I thought I couldn't have this every half hour.
Then the solution came to me: three days later peeled it off and drove home no issues.
My latest..getting really fed up. Almost looks identical each time it happens too. This is overnight. I can only imagine a nest above or..they just love shi!ing on my roof.

Emergency?! Ye gods, it's a Golf in a posh dress, not a priceless vintage Bugatti. I currently have a huge purple bird shit on the side of my car and am conducting an experiment to see how long it takes for the weather to remove it!

Little known fact: bird poo IS acidic, but lacquer damage isn't caused by that, it's by temperature. It's all to do with the different rates of contraction and expansion in the clear coat in direct sunlight and when it's shielded by bird splat.
Two blokes having a drink in a bar. The first says "What would you do if a bird crapped on your car?"
The second replies "Oh, I'd definitely have to finish with her".
A car covered in bird poop isn’t only disgusting and unsightly, but the droppings can also damage paintwork, which is costly to repair. That’s why what color cars do birds poop on the most is one of the important factors to consider when buying a new vehicle, especially if you’re going to park it outside often.
Yes. I left my car at my mates house a couple of days and it got shatted on. After cleaning it off it had already began eating the lacquer on my fairly recently resprayed bonnet. fuming....
Totally Agree with Thread. Seems to be getting worse for me. Every day theres bird poo on my car. The other day there was a huge one right in the middle of the bonnet and the hot weather baked it on. took some effort to remove. I was told once that Birds nateral instint is to poo over water so when they see something reflective they think its water so they poo.
My car was only a day old when one got baked into the roof, which was only left for a matter or hours. I was fuming.
The road I park on is a nightmare, there's a fight over the parking spaces between the trees as bird shittings are VERY frequent when directly under one... tree sap is ******* me off too.
per a quote I found...Most birds consider shiny things as water. That is why the birds usually poop on them. According to a theory, birds usually defecate on the water so that predators cannot find their nesting and feeding areas by smelling the scent of the poop left on the ground.
The reason can vary. But to answer your question, when a bird poops on your car, either the parking spot of your car is just below their designated tree, or they are attracted to your vehicle.
