Having trouble with pesky birds leaving droppings all over my car? It’s becoming a real headache! I park my car outside, and no matter the time of year, it seems like those birds find my vehicle irresistible.
I’ve read a few different suggestions, but I’m looking for more practical advice and tried-and-true methods. Here are some things I’m considering:
Using Decoys: I’ve thought about getting a plastic owl or hawk to scare them off. Does this really work?
Reflective Materials: I’ve heard that using shiny objects can deter birds. What types of reflective materials or objects have you successfully used?
Car Covers: Would investing in a car cover be a good preventive measure, especially if I park outside?
I’d love to hear your experiences or any other creative solutions you’ve come up with to keep those bird droppings away. Let’s share our best tips for maintaining our cars and protecting their paint jobs! Thanks in advance for your help.
I think it’s a constant battle. Maybe a combo of spikes, reflective surfaces, and decoys might be worth a shot. It’s kind of like a science experiment at this point!
I’ve had the same issue! For cleaning, I recommend using a solution of water and vinegar or a dedicated car wash product. Just make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid any residue that could harm your paint.
Using a clay bar on the affected area after cleaning can help remove any residue and protect your car’s paint. It’s a bit of effort, but worth it if you’re dealing with frequent bird attacks!
There’s actually been some discussion about using auditory deterrents, like bird repellent sounds. Has anyone tried this? I’m curious about its effectiveness!
I’ve read that birds tend to poop on cars because they see them as a safe place to perch. This could be due to your car being parked near trees or often under power lines. Try changing the parking spot if possible.
