Bird poo damages your paintwork - at a very rapid rate. It'll start to make that spot of the paint look duller, quicker then you think!

I hate the rain - its so dirty. Leaves the car with dirty watermarks over it which I have to dust off all the time!

a bit of water and a cloth? Seriously I just use some tap water and Meguiars Ultimate Quick detailer. Microfibre cloth too. I wouldn't use a kitchen towel as they are wood fibre and may scratch the paint.

With larrrndon town water, jeez man your brave!!  :grin:

edit: read it as last touch for some reason  :lipsrsealed:

the problem i have with cleaning the poo with the cloth is that the poo sticks to the cloth and it's a real pain cleaning the cloth. So the real question is how do you clean the poo off your microfibre cloth? I have this manky cloth that is just for bird poo and as you can imagine it is getting a bit rank!

This is why I use bird poo disposable wipes. Clean the stuff off asap and then throw away. Can be cleaned properly later with QD and MF cloth when you have the chance.

Worst colour to get sh@t on.

Horribly corrosive - need to get it off the paint straight away or it WILL eat into the clearcoat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mucho wax helps :wink:

Completely agree with Cass - had a black car before and it really is the worst colour to get bombed on.
