Note to self Never tempt fate!

Writing an article recently about the tendency of birds to poop mostly on blue cars was always going to tempt fate especially with my brand new shiny black car proudly parked under a whole load of bird-infested trees.

Of course the inevitable happened. A great big downpoo! Not just the odd splatter, but a whole covering of thick green and white gloopy poo all over my beautiful shiny bonnet.

To make matters worse, not only did I have to drive the 30 minute trip home with aforesaid substance covering my car, but once I did try and remove it, big splodges have appeared that are resistant to any kind of car shampoo or polisher. What those birds have been eating is anybody's guess.

My beautiful car that was so shiny has been reduced to a splodgy mess. Its paint work that was once spotless is now streaky and uneven like someone that's been at the fake tan without blending in properly.

Any ideas on getting rid of the marks, or similar tales of woe so I don't feel so alone in my sorrow would be greatly appreciated.
