Greetings to all from me and my new cooper....
I took delivery in January and am totally in love with it
Only problem i have so far is that birds (of the feather kind) seem to enjoy cacking all over the wee fellow which really irritates me !!

Anyone else have the same problem - do the stripes/white roof attract seagulls ?
What's the best way of removing it - anyone got any top tips ?

AutoGlym or Halfords but don't leave the bird poo to long on any paint because it will stain any paintwork and will not come off!.

I have trouble with bird cack too, my neighbours aerial hangs over to the edge of my drive so when the birds fly off and cackit lands on my shiny MINI below

i've not been shat on for a while. When i got the car (black roof) it used to get shat on after i washed it, like the birds knew what they were doing. I reccon is just a short period of envy and then they decide to go and dump on someone elses car.

I thought birds only pooped more on colours like red....

If you live by the sea, you die by the sea, or is that sword???

Central UK, lacking seagulls, not a problem here, but clean it off quick, it plays havoc with the laquer
