Removing bird crap

[3blackchevys]

My story is that some bird decided to take a massive dump on my blazer a few months ago. Was never able to get it off and decided to clay bar and wax. Worked good.

You gotta wash it when its fresh, or it can reak hell on your paint.

I just use a razor blade.

I burn it off with a propane torch

With my luck I'd cut myself or get burned..lol, but I'm happy it worked and my next project is to claybar the roof (i just put some wax on) and the front grill is very dull, so that needs to be delt with.

Nah man its real easy, you can also use one of those razor blade holders and heat the blade up with the torch to aid in poo removal, also if you cut yourself it well self cauterize the wound

Yeah, I've seen Irwin tools make something like that

i take the torch directly to the bird crap, then scrape it with the razor blade. if that doesnt work i just rub it with a little paint thinner or brake fluid.

True, I forgot to add the paint thinner part, I find paint thinner to be too harsh sometimes and will use mineral spirits most of the time. I'm not sure if this is a secret but I have found soaking the spot in brake fluid, then igniting with the torch will help break down the organic compounds much quicker, follow this up with a razor blade to remove whatever remains, this has always worked perfect for me.
