For some reason Black and Red non-metallic paint seems to be particularly badly affected by bird droppings. A friends Black Peugeot 106 scored a direct hit on the centre of the bonnet. She left it for 2 days and when it came to washing it off, it also took off some paint and exposed the white primer. Maybe this is related somehow to the rapid fade properties of black/red paint which makes it bond weakly?
You could be nerdy like me and carry a small sandwich box filled with some water and car shampoo and a Halfords Insect/Bug Pad. I sometimes wash off the birds poop when miles from home but mainly to remove fly city from the windscreen in summer months!
There is just one moon and one golden sun; And a smile mean friendship to ev'ryone; Through the mountains divide, and the oceans are wide; It's a small world after all. |
