Is it just me or is whiteout a magnet for bird poop - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I second the avoiding trees. I found that birds often poop when taking off (weight reduction?), so nearby perches and trees can be problematic.

Charmin?

I made the mistake of parking under a huge tree during a rainstorm. My SWP BRZ was covered with a different shade of white.

Be careful if you wipe...you don't want to cause scratches. If the bird sh!t is dry, set one of these wipes on it for a few minutes to soften it up. Then wipe carefully.

i get a lot of bird crap on my black raven as well.

every morning before i go i inspect the car and make sure i clean any poop before the hot sun bakes and stains paint

This is why a good wax and sealant will protect your paint and clearcoat from this crap(pun intended!). If done right, it should prevent any of it penetrating the clearcoat.

Damn birds!

Scientifically proven that red gets pooped on the most...

I think birds have something against white vehicles. My Taco has seen it's fair share of bird poop but it couldn't be worse than this dude.

EDIT: What WoW linked to.

I believe it. I've owned quite a few cars over the years and the red one absolutely had more poop on it than any other color.
