Oh also, after any drive, I whip out my QD and MF to remove bugs on the front bumper and mirrors. Bugs on windshield I wait till I get home. Bugs on bumper/paint are acidic and will eat away clear coat just as well as doo doo will.
Good to know about the dead bugs. I think I'll start to check my front bumper often. Mostly for any debris (rocks) that hit it.

I don't have a flamethrower. LMAO! I don't want to burn the tree down since it's close to the house and that will certainly catch fire.

1. disposable gloves (dont want to touch that salmonella)

4. trash bag
5. clean plush MF towel.

*i carry Prima Slick, but you can get Meguair's NXT spray. it needs to be polymer as you might need to use it in the sun. natural wax based can boil up on the hot panel and stain your finish making more work...

how to:
1. put on your disposable gloves.
2. spray the crap with QD and let it moisten.
3. spray the paper towel to soften and minimize swirls on the paint.
4. apply wet towel onto the crap as if you are picking it up, do not rub the towel.
5. trash into trashbag.
6. QD some more onto the panel and wipe dry with your plush MF towel
7. disposable glove into trashbag.

done.
I might need a CBE kit myself. I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the info!

one place i will never park under is light poles with utility lines... pigeons.

wish there were like dog whistles for birds. i'd keep it on 24/7 around the house at full blast.
Uncontrollable bowl movements?

although ive found the birds dont crap on my black z as much as they did on my old blue rsx. every morning there was crap on my rsx, not so much on the z. ive read that blue actually attracts bird crap like a bullseye (its like water?), but probably bs.
I swear, those damn birds dropped bombs on my Z. Huge massive splats. My Z was like a target.
