Bird Poop Destroy Car’s Paint?

Summer is suppose to be about getting outside, enjoy the outdoor and gets as much sunlight as you can. But for car owners, Summer is a disaster because they have no choice to park their car under the tree because the heat can excruciating for your car and will definitely torture them once they get inside the car.

If you park under a shady tree, what is the common thing that always happens? That is correct, the birds will undoubtedly poop all over your freshly washed car. People worry that bird poo will damage the car’s paints.

We have heard that acid from the bird droppings is why the paint might get perforations, but recent study in UK car care experts Autoglym states that the excrement is only part of the problem. The real threaten for your car is the sun which expands and warms the paint on your car.

When the sun hits on the bird poop, the poop hardens at the same time the paint expands. And when the sun sets and the vehicle cools down, the paint then contracts and forms itself around the hardened bird poop.

If birds poop on your vehicle, the only best thing you can do is remove it as quickly as you can. A moist cloth or wet tissue will be the right tool to do it in most instances. Or the easiest way is bring your car to car wash although it will cost you more than pack yourself with portable wet tissue.

Here are some tips for you:

-          Remove the bird poop as soon as possible, do not let it dries up

-          Remove using a moist cloth, wet tissue, or you can buy the bird dropping wipes. Gently lift the bird poop from the surface

-          If the bird poop is dry or does not lift easily, place a moist cloth or splash a fresh water over it for ten minutes to soften the bird  poop

-          Dispose of any cloth or wipe used to remove the bird droppings immediately and carefully wash your hands because bird poop carries harbor diseases
