AutoExec Summary
It’s a common problem for car owners – finding their vehicle covered in tree sap or bird droppings after parking under a tree. The sap, a secretion from bugs feasting on the tree, can etch into the paint if not removed quickly. Bird droppings, containing uric acid, can also damage the paint if left too long. Owners of matt-finished vehicles face even more challenges, as these panels cannot be polished if stained. To prevent damage, wax your vehicle, check for faeces before parking, and remove droppings gently with car cleaning spray and a cloth.
