isn't there a bird poo remover available for cars? I would ask at your local car accessory shop.

To be honest if I have any birdie poo on the car or caravan I just give it a really good soak and it wipes away.  It's never red with dates but it's often red with berries. Can't be a lot different can it?

I have a lot of birds around my house and they also tend to poo on the van and our car and exactly as Steve says, I soak it all with water and then wipe it off. Luckily our Yorkshire birds poo on my camper after eating from the peach tree.

Well thanks again for the replies, we finally got it all off thanks to a product that we bought some time ago at  a show somewhere,and as usual  forgot about it under the kitchen sink, anyhow it worked a treat, the name of the product is REVIVE PASTE, it really does what it says on the container.17

I bought a bird dropping remover spray from Lidls for just over a quid, tried it on my white Golf to remove sea gull pooh and it worked a treat.
