WD-40
According to WD-40, its magic-in-a-can spray has 259 automotive uses – and cleaning off dry bird poop from car paint is one of them. To remove bird droppings from your vehicle, spritz a little WD-40 on the area, let it sit for 60 seconds, then rinse or wipe away with a clean, soft cloth.


Water + Baking Soda
For those who don’t have WD-40 handy, a simple solution of baking soda and hot water will do the trick. In a 32-ounce spray bottle, mix a quart of warm or hot water with 4 tablespoons of baking soda. Shake and squirt the solution on any dry bird poop stain, allowing it to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Then rinse with a hose.


Bird Poop Car Wipes
Specialty products like Drop Wipes exist, and they do a great job of removing dry bird poop from cars. They’re made of biodegradable, ultra-soft bamboo, and soaked in an all-natural formula of poop-cleaning liquid, which destabilizes and neutralizes the uric acid in bird droppings. When you discover your vehicle has become a bird bullseye, tear open one of these suckers, wipe, and toss away.
(If you’ve ever hated your job, just remember that someone has the job of testing “bird poop car wipes.” Let that sink in.)


Seltzer Water
Got a windshield loaded with bird droppings that wiper blades won’t remove? Seltzer water or club soda may do the truck. Pour some on the doodie, wait a few minutes, then spray clean with water or turn your windshield wipers on.
(Warning: Do NOT use a cola to clean bird poop off your car paint or windows! It is corrosive to automotive paint, wax, and even rubber.)


Quick Detailer Spray
The most convenient way to get bird poo off your vehicle is with a quick detailer spray and a soft microfiber towel. Detailing sprays are cheap and make quick work of not only bird poop but also bugs, water spots, fingerprints, grease, and other contaminants that may damage your car’s finish. Used sparingly, quick detailing spray should last years.
