Bird Poop

Well after spending a few hours on Sunday washing and cleaning my Candy White Rocco, the birds have been out in force crapping all over it. Any recommendations for bird poop removal?

Re: Lack Of Power

WILLIAM.....Hows your fuel consumtion once you had the Rocco mapped? Ive still got 9 months or so left on VW warranty so will most probably wait until it elapses then have it mapped.
