bird poop and glass advice
looking for some advice on the above.
went to Newquay over the weekend, 50 mile drive with teh window open, sun blazing, beautiful. Pulled up and a bird shit straight though my window and covered the inside of the windscreen, the headlining, the door card, dash and steering wheel!
now i used some shitty "glass cleaner" and its just smeared like fuck! 
next the bird shit outside the car - covered! parked on a beach for 3 days wasnt my best idea!
snow foam / very cherry / 101 ? best ideas?
bastard birds!

I use -here it comes, the dreaded words- Turtle Wax glass cleaner, the cream one. Seems to cut through everything and buffs out nicely.

Baby wipes to clean all the shit off there antibacterial and smell nice. Then I use glass wipes I think there armour-all just wipe over the glass and let it dry and there streak free.
On the outside I would spray the shit with a acid neutralizing apc - Tesco daisy will be okay. Let that soak in then a good snow foam and wash with a mitt. If you use apc just remember to re-wax / seal the areas you use it on.

Wash the spots of bird shit off mate the lye in the bird shit will eat into your paint and leave it stained.

Newquay Girls are DIRTY 
Joking aside, I got marks over my fez interior a few months back. Being a grey soft plastic I didn't have anything to clean it with.
Surprisingly really soapy water and a nail brush made light work of all of it.
Didn't expect it to do so well.
