Hose/soap? It's not rock salt and diet coke. The car will last a few hours without damage. I'd rather do it the long/safe way.

both ways work, just make sure that sh!t comes off within 24 hours or you will have even more work to do(polishing) to get the marks out.

Awww...the woes of owning a black car. My last Z was black, and I told myself, never again. If you don't clean bird poop within a few hours, it burns the clear coat and it will never be the same. You can buff it out and make it less noticeable, but you know you will always see it

I always kept a microfiber cloth in the glove box for this reason.

Turtle Wax makes a detailer exclusively for black cars. I use it almost everyday on my Magnetic Black because of bird droppings, pollen, bug guts, pine needles, grass clippings, leaves, tar, dirt, and rain and every f--king thing else that gets on my Z on a daily basis. The detailer is actually a black liquid and its supposed to help fill in tiny scratches etc.

I've tried that stuff and it works okay for about a week.. then you'll notice the scratches again. It's messy and does more damage than fixing the problem. Wash, clay, machine polish & a quality wax. I used the stuff from Adams to polish, but I'm getting results easier with the Meg's m105&m205 which polishes out bird crap pretty well on my Mag Black Z.

Was it anything like this? I went to the self car wash after this happened while parked downtown for 90 minutes.
