Some studies may look very silly, but results may be quite useful. For example, not so long time ago online retailer Halfords revealed its researches which indicate that red vehicles are most attractive (18%) for birds poop. The second place is taken by a blue color - %14. What is the most unattractive color – is green, just one percent. And here I can agree with birds – not all cars look cool in green. The sample included 1,140 cars in Brighton, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester and Bristol, though there's no indication as to the total number of each car color in the group.
The study also asked owners how quickly they removed bird droppings from their vehicle's paint. Only one in six said they took care of the problem immediately, while more than half waited until the next car wash. However, it’s wrong. I should warn you that birds’ poop has the strongly alkali substance which can destroy your paintwork.
Advice on removing bird deposits from vehicles
1. Remove at the earliest opportunity
2. A moist cloth should be used - Autoglym Bird Dropping Wipes are ideal - to gently lift the deposit from the vehicle surface.
3. If the deposit is dry or doesn't lift easily, place a moist cloth over it for ten minutes to soften the deposit
4. Dispose of any cloth or wipe used to remove bird droppings immediately and carefully wash your hands, as bird lime can harbour diseases
