Green Machine Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 That's right Rob, it passes out of their cloaca. This exit port is for removing fecal matter, uric acid and eggs. It is also the entry point for sperm to fertilize the egg. BTW: Did you know some fancy pants spas use bird poop in their facials? Roll that one around in your noggin... Wow, I'm finally getting some use out of that biology degree!

PrinceValium Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 The reason birds poop causes this on our paint is due to the fact that birds do not urinate. They use the same tube to pass these pasty secretions as they do to poop and lay eggs. This is why their poop it is white in color as it is uric acid. Class dismissed. One of the worst (and most common) enemies to a perfect paint job is the "Bird Bomb". The acidic nature of bird poop causes damage to the paint if left on and allowed to dwell for an extended period of time. The paint will be etched and almost always the etching will need to be polished out. Type 2 water spots are also etchings, where water has been allowed to dwell and caused etching. While these etchings may be shallower than the ones from "bird bombs", they too will need to be polished out. The moral of the story is to prevent these BEFORE they happen and save yourself grief. Keep vigilant with paint and you will be rewarded with only having to do little or no polishing to keep your paint looking good for years to come. Below is a diagram of the two types of etching mentioned above:
mjhpadi Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I've known for a long time that Dawn is extremely hard on the finish and should not be used for car washing...heck, it is strong enough that I use it to get grease off my hands after working on anything really dirty, so it can't be good on a finish.

Tim Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks Mook, I was more talking about TIM Sorry, just having fun. Now the write up is perfect!
gencoupe3dot8 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 No worries brother...there is a certain brand out there right now doing nothing but pushing Dawn as a strip wash. We have been directed from Adam to make sure we make people aware that the APC addition into the wash bucket is a safer way to remove old wax/sealant. Mook:patriot: Thanks Mook, I was more talking about TIM

THE Mook Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Great thread happening here. We don't recommend using Dawn to strip wash. Add 2-4 oz of APC into your wash mixture, and that will remove anything on the vehicle. IF you want to do it "dry" , use IPA and a clean MF Polishing Towel. Mook
