What Colour cars do birds poop on the most?

As an expert in the domain of bird poop cleaning, I am frequently asked about the correlation between car color and the frequency of bird droppings. A recent study conducted by U.K. car parts retailer Halfords has shed some light on this matter.

According to the study, red cars attract the most bird droppings compared to any other color. Out of the 1,140 cars analyzed, red vehicles made up 18% of cars marked by birds. Following in second place, blue cars accounted for 14% of bird droppings. On the other hand, green cars had it the easiest, making up just 1% of those in the study.

Interestingly, the study did not provide information on the total number of each car color in the group, so it is important to take these percentages with a grain of salt.

In addition to the color of your car, the study also highlighted the behavior of car owners when it comes to removing bird droppings. Only 17% of drivers claimed to wipe off deposits immediately upon noticing them, while 20% took action within a couple of days. Shockingly, a majority of 55% waited until their next car wash to deal with the droppings. Another 8% admitted to never washing their cars or leaving it to someone else to clean.

Apart from being unsightly, bird droppings on vehicles can be an expensive problem. Insurance industry figures estimate that the damage caused by bird-poop-stained paintwork costs motorists millions of dollars each year in unnecessary repairs.

To prevent damage to your car’s bodywork, it is crucial to clean off bird droppings as soon as possible. Contrary to popular belief, the damage does not arise from the acidity or alkalinity of the droppings but rather from the paint lacquer softening and expanding. This causes the paint to mold around the dropping, resulting in a dull patch. Grainier textures from seed-eating birds, such as pigeons, produce more blemishes compared to seagulls.

To remove bird droppings from your car, follow these simple steps:

1. Remove the droppings at the earliest opportunity.
2. Use a moist cloth to gently lift the deposit from the vehicle surface.
3. If the deposit is dry or doesn’t lift easily, place a moist cloth over it for ten minutes to soften it.
4. Dispose of any cloth or wipe used to remove bird droppings immediately and carefully wash your hands, as bird lime can harbor diseases.

In conclusion, if you find bird poop on your car, remember that red cars tend to attract the most droppings. It is important to take prompt action to avoid damage to your car’s paintwork.
