Yes it will get that thing off ASAP, use some wax and a clay bar and get it off. That stuff will ruin your paint in no time, especially if it was under direct sunlight.

Gotta love the top notch paint Mitsubishi uses, if you don't remove that bird crap ASAP you won't get it off unless you remove the clear where the area's affected! Good luck!

Ive had paint get messed up due to letting bird crap cake on. I soak mine in quick detail, just keep spritzing, then wipe off once it softens and then take clay to it. Hope it didnt damage your paint!

This. You can also try some cleaner wax; Meguiars makes some that has worked very well for me when all else failed (clay/water mix that got all over the car then sun-baked on). After using they cleaner wax the car looked the brightest white it ever had so I used a high-gloss wax (Meguiars NXT V2) over the top to seal it in.

Yeah no **** haha - their diet consists of berries and other garbage - go ahead and pour some orange juice on your car in direct sunlight - works wonders..

here is what you do. setup a bird feeder + bath up away from your car. The birds that do this are going to their nest in direct line of your car, you need to get them on a new route. it worked for me, now i have 2 lil babies, no poop, happy birds that love to look at me and jus hang out . seriously

maybe its a canadian thing

Phantom Black: Bird Fury

One thing I have noticed is black cars are particularly vulnerable. Why U ask? Because they can see their reflection in the black surface (more so than other colors) and think there is another similar bird in their territory and so attack the car...dropping poop is a common method used by birds to say..Stay the hell away.
Yes I know, this is more than U wanted to know about bird sh***t.

Later, Ken
