| Re: driving a clean car, bird craps, now what? Quote: Originally posted by roadk here's my problem:
i've just washed my car. it's now dry and i've started my road trip.
an hour or so into my trip, a bird craps on my car.
or, perhaps i stop for lunch, and come back out to my car to find a bird has done his business on my black finish.
what do i do? i don't have the ability to wash it nearby and i'd rather not let it bake on my finish.
is a QD with a MT the answer?
thanks!

IMO, you're right on track with QD and a MF or soft cotton towel. I keep some Final Inspection and a MF towel in the car at all times for just such evil presents from above. I hate it when the car is truly dirty (such as after a rain) and a bird drops one, because then it's a lesser of two evils sort of thing: possibly scratch the paint from all the dust and road grime that you have to wipe over to remove the bird bomb, or allow the offending poo to chew through the clearcoat. I opt for #1; at least scratches I can typically repair without much drama (thank you, 3M).
