What's a good brand to reomove bugs and bird droppings?

Agent-GHQ · 08-24-2013, 12:03 AM

Any suggestion for a good brand agent to remove bugs stains and bird droppings from the car's paint? Or any agent that is safe to spray and remove from the car's paint?

tarminator is my go to for tar/bugs/stubborn residue

Is this for when you wash the car or just when you're on the go? If it's for a wash I highly recommend auto finess citrus power. Great cleaning ability while not harming your wax/sealant. If you want something for on the go I would say a quick detailer.

WD40.

+1 AF citrus power is the way to go

not sure this is valid but wouldnt R3 rubber remover work as well? i just use it on all the spots on my track car, granted most are hot rubber marks.

The key is the get bird droppings quickly as they can etch the clear coat if it sits there too long.

Carry some quick detailer in your car and remove it with a microfiber towel. Or if its something stuck on, try something like Stoner's Tarminator.

If its dried, checkout this article on Autogeek.net:

Is that for a quick fix on the go? Where can I get that?

AF citrus power is meant for presoaking when you wash your car. If you wanted to you could do it on the go but it's not meant to soak the entire car in. You can find citrus power and the rest of the af products either on autogeek or detailers domain

as stated above, its meant more for presoaking

another good option would be optimum no rinse. Its typically not good to use a QD spray on a car to remove impurities as it can mar the paint.

I use autoglym glass cleaner. Also good for bugs & actually gets rid of tar/rubber from the track very easily. Just spray & wipe with microfiber. If it doesn't come off or its a bigger chunk, spray & let soak for 30 sec then it comes off.

Doesn't always get the rubber completely off if its a very large amount & been sitting a while, but if you're quick about it it should work.
