Guest roy.counsell Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Just wondering what's the best way to clean bird poop stains off the wing?? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 It sure sticks. I would try softening it by warm water and detergent(mild) and being patient and then a soft bottle brush. I would try to keep the birds off it as if they are crapping on it they are also walking on it. Pretend "OWLS etc might scare them away ( for a while).

old man emu Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Put a damp cloth over the stained area and leave it there to soak for a while. Wash the stained area with a solution containing a pure soap ("Sunlight" or "Lux") Use a non-cutting polish such as Turtle Wax over the area of the stain. Remember that bird poop contains not only faeces, but also urine, so it is Acidic in reaction. Soaps are the opposite (Basic). Also the droppings can contain grit from the bird's craw, or other sharp solids such as bone, seed husks and so on. Make sure that you soften them well with water before you try to wipe them off. I'm told that the worst animal excretion for damaging paintwork is possum pee. OME (Who sometimes sh its bricks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Emu's wreck your plane when they walk on them too I believe. Bat pee seems the most corrosive thing I have come across. It ruins chrome and nickel, quick time. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rankamateur Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 little tiny black dots.. absolute buggers of things to remove from white paint. They are fly specks, aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralights Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 not sure, but the ones im always cleaning up are directly under the mass of spider webs on the hangar ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allowera Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Could be the flies in the webs crapping themselves when they see the spider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieselten Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Lux flakes dissolved in warm water. Apply with soft-bristle broom, work bristles around in circular pattern, rinse off with cold clean water. Now you'll have a nice clean spot and will have to do the rest of the wing so it looks uniform! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
