WOW....caught that bird after thanksgiving dinner! Nice clean wheels though

 

Nice clean wheels though

I need me some new lugs. :wrench:

 

car cover?

 

that looks like seagull crap. I'd find a way to loosen and remove that asap, or it will eat thruough your wax/sealant.

 

Already done. I keep a hose hooked up in front with a high powered sprayer nozzle for just this type of emergency. And I am going to put a fresh coat of Gold Carnuba wax on tomorrow morning to protect against further gullet washers.

 

Me too bro. I have an open carport but it is too far away for me to hear the alarm, so I park on the street which is a scant 50 ft from my bedroom.

 

i'm reminded of the nursery rhyme my father use to say to me when a bird crapped on his windshield:

birdie, birdie in the sky;
why'd you dookie in my eye?
i don't care, and i won't cry;
i'm just glad that elephants don't fly.

 

hahaha Amen

 

Well there goes my appetite...

 

I have the same issue - driveway is too narrow to build a garage and a neighbors tree hangs over my driveway and part of my house. My previous car's finish was destroyed by bird crap - even with vigilant cleaning. I bought a cover for my present ride and its worked much better.

 

Or Griot's Best of Show Wax if you can swing the $20. Dude just leave a plate of scrambled eggs near your car.. show those winged bastards what you're capable of!

 

Do those fake owls I see on rooftops actually work to keep smaller birds away? They are supposed to be a bird-of-prey style scare-crow. It might be worth researching.

 

No. We have them in the warehouse at work and the birds ignore them.

 

^my parents have one, seems to work a bit. Should look into it.

 

Wow that thing is pretty scary:icon_eek:

 

tough luck man, sorry

 

I've been trying to figure out some kind of net or screen to hang under the branches to catch at least part of it. The tree out front has a street light right next to it that makes the birds hang out there all night, build nests and carry on making a racket. In the morning my GF's car is covered.

I heard that the owls only work for a while until the birds get used to it. So either you have to keep moving it to new spots or perhaps get the animated ones that move their heads. But even those would need to be moved eventually.

Or just drop into Eeylops Owl Emporium in Diagon Alley, London and get the real McCoy if you are over there for the Olympics later this month.

 

12 gauge

 

 

lmao!

 

whew what was that bird eating?

 

 

If you're looking for a really durable wax, try out Collinite 845. It's only like $10 per bottle and it's the most durable wax I've used. For added durability you can add a second coat. Should help protect your paint from the birds.

 

LOL, collinite 845 is good but it's hard to remove n apply sometimes..

 

Really? I have been using it for a couple years now, and I've never had any issues with application and removal, it's actually one of the easiest to use waxes that I've come across. If application is difficult, try getting the applicator pad damp and then applying the wax.
