A problem I need to fix
How do you keep birds from crapping on your car?
I've tryed everything short of putting the cover on it at work.
They have 1300 other cars to pick from where I work, Why me?
I park in the clear, under trees, even under the bridge. Nothing works.
Is it that they just like white cars?
This sucks, didn't their parents tell them not to get to close to the cool cars.
I hate having to wash it everytime I take it to work. It makes me have to wax it more.

Hire Ralphie from "A Cristmas Story". I here hes a crack shot and he has an official Red Ryder Carbine Action 200 shot range model Air Rifle! As long as he doesn't "shoot his eye out" I think those birds are doomed.

They target black too!!
Dont park near telephone poles, under trees, in a driveway........HMMMM
portable garage
To me a lot of protectorant ZAINO, or really any type of polymers in large quantities at least stops it from etching the paint. Yes mine is white, and my 03 yukon is black, I find that birds do not discriminate !!!

Get even with them; toss some bird sead around your car...laced with rat poison.
That should drop the local "flying $hit-house" population enough to protect your car.

the only thing you can do is to travel with a bottle of detailer's spray and a microfiber towel to clean it up ASAP.
