I have trees all along my road and the work car park has trees all around my designated space. As a consequence the car is covered with bird and squirrel excreta, the bird stuff usually comes off OK. but squirrels appear to sh** cement!
What product can I use to get it off?
:(

Wow, i need to see this squirrel shi* LOL, do you have pictures (PS squirrel poo's are usually dropping like big mouse type ones ?, unless yours all have the squibs LOL), the best bet is to soften if first then wash it off, i have this product and it works well for bird poo http://www.einszett.co.uk/Anti-Insect.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The Autoglym wipes are OK, I just got a second box of them. As long as you catch it within a couple of hours, you can take it all off, although it does tend to move the poo around a bit and spread it out!

My car has a fairly fresh coat of HD wax on it too; I'm sure that also plays some part in making it easier to clean.

I tried to use an Autoglym wipe on my wife's C-max (rarely washed, never waxed). It was an old poo, at least a few days, and the wipes were fairly useless.

get 2 pieces of kitchen towel and wet them. leave them on top of the poo for about 5 min.

when the poo is properly soft and saturated, they can be wiped off without any abrasive action.

yes thats true. a layer of sealant does help the poo to slide off.

I'd be tempted to get the kettle of warm but not boiling water and slowly pour it over the offending turds.

This should have the effect of softening and loosening it so hopefully must of it will rinse away without having to wipe it across the paintwork risking scratching.
