Drip water onto the dried bird droppings, then cover them with a wet wipe or damp cloth. Wait for 2-3 minutes before wiping them off directly. There are stain removal waxes available on the market, such as Turtle Wax, which are highly effective in removing bird droppings. These products not only clean but also provide waxing and polishing effects. After soaking a clay bar in water, rubbing it back and forth over the bird droppings can also yield excellent results. Clay bars are very effective at removing stubborn stains and are one of the must-have items for car washing.

When I find bird droppings on my car, I usually wipe them off immediately with a damp cloth or wet wipes, as the acidic substances in bird droppings can corrode the car paint. Never wait until it dries and hardens. If it has already hardened, I spray some warm water or neutral cleaner to soften it before wiping, avoiding scratching the surface. I always keep a bottle of car wax spray in the car for quick cleaning and paint protection. When parking, I avoid areas under trees or where birds gather. Developing a habit of regular car washing and waxing can reduce the formation of stains. Bird droppings are not just unsightly but can also cause discoloration, so never ignore them.

The key to dealing with bird droppings is to act quickly: I usually start by rinsing with water, then carefully wipe them off with a soft cotton cloth or sponge, avoiding hard objects to prevent scratching the paint. If the stains are stubborn, I add a mild cleaner like automotive cleaning spray, which can be bought at supermarkets, but avoid household bleach to prevent surface damage. I recommend parking under a canopy or in a treeless area to reduce the chances of getting hit. For long-term protection, regularly applying wax to create a protective layer is effective in prevention.

Simple solution: First, gently wipe the bird droppings with a damp cloth, let it soften for a while before wiping it off. Avoid scraping hard to prevent paint damage. Keep some stain removal spray in the car for emergencies. When parking, avoid areas with many birds. Regularly clean and wax the car body for protection.

What to Do When the Exclamation Mark Warning Light on the Vehicle Dashboard Illuminates?

When an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are five possible scenarios: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, brake system failure, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting malfunction. Below is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General Malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a general performance or component malfunction if this symbol lights up. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the malfunction. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Failure: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, typically indicating brake system failure or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line with parentheses below and an exclamation mark in the middle signifies the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the vehicle's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Malfunction: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting malfunction indicator, alerting that a vehicle light has failed. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.
