I park under a Tree at work so it's in the shade, can go a week with no bird sh*t then they will decide to use my car for target practice and bombard it. $2 worth of high presure hosing fixes that.

I think you should add which coloured cars get hit the most often....Mine seems to do fairly well...Not many hits at all. But a friends green commodore will get hit everytime she comes to visit.....go figure... :evil_laug

In my experience, parking under power lines is easily the worst. My car is white. Luckily I don't have to do that any more.

Its not on the pole but id definatly say,parking under a street light at the beach.
you drive past any street light near the beach and the road underneath is literally white.

My place is like trafalga square. It so bad. A neighbour breeds pigueons and its countless how many he has. My eb is a cardinal red and it cops it so much. Mine is the only one which cops it also. My dads zl is silver, bro's xf is a charcoal and my sis's corolla is red. But for some reason im the only one which cops it.

Parking under a tree is always a problem with birds droppings. But to make it worse they will do it more if the car has just been washed.
Ive also noticed that if you don't get the poo off quick enough it will eat into your paint. I had some on my car for about an hour, and after washing it off i could see where it had eaten into the paint. |

I find parking under a gum tree at work to be the worst, y sh*t mixed with thick tree sap tends to really take some elbow grease to get off!
edit: damn swear editor! the "y" above was meant to be a shortend word for those large birds with the sulpher crest!

Since I have stopped washing my car, I am looking forward to each new "hit" the EB takes. It is gradually looking like an artic-camoflauge paintjob now, and it's all thanks to the anii of small birds!
I need a respray anyhoo, so I dgaf :P |

they seem to sit on the bonnet (near the washer jets) and look at their own reflection all the time here, hence 1 big line of after a couple of days sitting.

Birds don't get my car too often, but a couple of days ago, some birds decided they would use my car for target practice. It was out in the open. It wasn't even under a tree! Now I might have to think about washing it! My car tends to get covered by bugs a lot more than bird poo, as I do a lot of driving on country roads.
