What did you do with your Z today

happytheman

Yeah I kinda tested the VDC this weekend when I banged on it a bit coming out of a turn. I expected the rear to kick out a little...but lo and behold..VDC kicked in and everything came right back under control without any further effort on my part!

I had my Z parked under the edge of a tree in the front yard.
Today was actually sunny for once. Should be nice, right?

When I came home from work today, I saw 4 large bird droppings on my car.
My brand new two week old car had 4 giant bird droppings on it!

It's like the birds couldn't help themselves. They just had to poop right on my Z! What is it with these damn birds?!?! Of all places, they scat my car like it was a target or something. There's plenty of other trees around, and yet these foul flying scum decided to perch in the tree near Z just to dirty it up!!!!
Someone give me a good recommendation on what to use to kill these birds! (No guns or bows please, I don't have a permit for those)

I don't have any professional washing materials, so I had to use a single bucket and a sponge.
The wash came out horrible, dry water spots all over after I finished, but at least I got rid of the incredibly embarassing bird fecal matter off my Z.

Now I want revenge on those annoying flying pests. There's too many of them.

Haha, I never had any birds crap on my previous cars, but they seem to love my z.

in my G and Z i keep a BCE kit... (bird crap emergency)

1. disposable gloves (dont want to touch that salmonella)
2. paper towels.... just get the softest ones you can find.
3. polymer based QD* (carry a small spray bottle)
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.

Pics at night please! I like where you've got em located much better than the landing strip!

Rule #1. Never park underneath or even partially underneath any part of any tree. Why? Birds perch on the branches. When they perch, they POOP. Of course you can still get doodoo from parking out in the open, but chances are significantly less than under a tree.

Rule #2. As stated above, carrying QD, water, and several MF's are ALWAYS a must. I just use water first to soften/remove the doo, then follow up with MF + QD. So far, no doo on Zena yet. Now that I've said it, I probably just jinxed myself :'(

OMG walked into my garage and almost got hit by a Robin. Sh!t scared the crap out of me. LOL No poo on the car though I went out there to get my rear wing to take in to be painted. Last part of my aero pieces. Will be done Fri so it will go on this weekend. Yes pics to follow. I had originally intended for the guy to install all my pieces and paint the wing but I installed everything else myself with my fathers "help" LOL

my reserved spot in my neighborhood is right under a big tree. so much poop.

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.

interesting... i thought they just crap randomly cause they have no muscle to control their buttholes.

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.

Oh, man, I hate bird poop. I do a walk-around whenever I get home and I use some quick detailer to clean off anything like that. At least for the first year or so, I will hand wash my car when I have time and the weather is decent, which is somewhere between every couple of weeks and never, so I can't let that stuff sit on there!
