I have been carrying Adam's QD and it doesn't seem to do the trick against birds or tree sap. Any other recommendations on what I should keep in the car for the war against mother nature?

Z6 works great for me but I would use whatever QD works best with the wax or polish syatem I used on my paint. Any QD will work in a pinch, the main thing is making sure you get the contaminant off ASAP.

I have Adam's QD and it smells great like strawberries. I use Z-6 on the Corvette for the bird bombs.

I was at cruise night last night and had a bird drop a nice load (Some sort of berry I'm guessing) on my headlight cover. Even though it had dried before I saw it, my Adams detail spray took it right off.

I now use Z-6 as I've converted to Zaino for all my vehicles and I want a detailer that will be compatible with future Zaino coats.

When I was still using wax, I used Griot's Speedshine which I think works even better for bird, sap, etc. cleanups. One of the best products Griot's sells.
