Top 7 Worst Things that Get Stuck on Your Corvette
1. Bird Droppings
Although birds are sweet creatures that make beautiful sounds, they act as if they own the world. Walking out to your Corvette and finding bird droppings on the surface makes you want to climb up a tree and give those birds a taste of their own medicine. Bird droppings are extremely high in acidity, which can damage your paint if left on the surface or worse, dried onto the paint from being baked in the sun. Use seltzer water to clean it as soon as you find it to avoid a costly repair later on.

2. Tree Sap
Whenever you notice dried tree sap on your Corvette, you know it will be a bad day. Tree sap is awful for your paint job, which will encourage you to clean it immediately. The only problem is, cleaning it is one of earth's toughest tasks. Tree sap is difficult to remove from your car's exterior, so try using a specialized product like Turtle Wax's Bug and Tar Remover to clean it off. As for preventing this incident in the future, sacrifice that shady spot and don't park your Corvette under a tree.

3. Dust
Imagine washing your Corvette, then waking up the next day to a dusty car, as if your hard work didn't make a difference. This always happens after a car wash, as if the universe is trying to sprinkle your car with dust. The best way to clean this off is by giving your Corvette a car wash. It's recommended to invest in a quality car cover if you regularly park your Corvette outside.

4. Water Spots
Water spots usually happen after an expensive or hard car wash, which is the water's way of telling you that even though it will clean your Corvette, it will also leave some marks on it, just so you know who is King. Water spots usually happen after a rainy day, too, which is nature's way of telling you even though your Corvette is powerful, nature is simply bigger and badder. Water spots can be eliminated by drying your car properly soon after it's been washed.

5. Bugs
With a fast car like the Corvette, you will need to sacrifice some bugs' lives. Having dead bugs on the windshield is part of driving your Corvette fast to its full potential; just hope the bugs are small and you don't get to see their guts all over your windshield. Bugs can be removed with a regular car wash; however, it is more effective to use a bug remover solution.

6. Car Paint
The ultimate heart break is when you approach your Corvette and see another car's paint on it. If only Corvette owners can control the world, or if the government passes a new law that prevents non-Corvette drivers to park near a Corvette. But until then, try to park on the other side of the parking lot, but not under a tree.

7. Notes
Seeing a note under your Corvette's windshield wiper makes you feel violated; no one should touch your Corvette. Seeing a note with a condom on the other hand is something no one wants to see on their car, regardless of its brand. So park better next time, don't cuss other drivers out on the road, and for the love of God, if the condom has been opened, DO NOT touch it.
