    Default Pigeon detailing

    Why is it that pigeons always seem to like a darker car?
    Every time I wash and polish, some bird finds enormous joy in taking a dump.

    Last day I put the car in the middle of the company car park, not a tree in sight nor walls and loads of cars around it. Just had it cleaned the day before.

    Come back and what do I find? Some bird with a serious bowel problem has taken great pride in decorating my car with his version of modern art.
    Cars next to it not affected in anyway. Those things have more precision than a WWII bomber I tell you. They can drop their load on any selected square inch they like.

    Anyone know a way of making a dark car bird proof other than wrapping it in cling film every time I park?

    VMAX - every time you wash and polish, how about using one of those grey plastic car covers used for the winter elements, you can cut out apertures for the windows etc, but at least you know it will stay pristine underneath.......No?

    Whole point of the wash/polish is to show off Make the poor neighbour with his 3-serious jealous.

    Why would I then hide it under a cover
