Anybody got pics of huge specimens of bird droppings to send to TG? We have Canada geese on the lake next door and I've had deposits from them on my car that are pretty impressive. Might go and collect a sample and do a mock up to send off.

Geese are heavy bombers! They also know one car from another! We have pool in the communal grounds where I live, and a lake on the other side of the road so we get loads of geese. I've had some huge guano deposits on my Honda but none on my neighbours' cars or my Land Rover.

Buggers!

Wax will give you some protection but it's not always enough. Always best to wipe it ASAP.

It eats through lacquer, wax isn't much of an obstacle for it.

Depends on what you are using. Still best not to leave any on as the result could end up costing hundreds to sort.
