    Bird Sh*t!

    Clean it off as soon as you see it. Just get a bucket of shampoo and a wash mitt and wipe it off. I get it sometimes parking car outside at work. I just make sure i wash it off when i get home only takes 5 minutes. As for the paint damage im not sure, someone else on here will will though.
