Autoglym Bird Dropping Wipes, x10 - Car Cleaning Wipes Offer A Quick, Clean Fix For a Mucky Job

They work well handy especially on new paintwork where bird poo leaves marks

Repeat purchase of these handy and very effective wipes. Amazed how much a single wipe will remove that you get bombed with local seagull or pigeon deposits. Stops me worrying about damage to paint work especially when on the road and not able to get to car wash.

So Simple.Rip open the sachet.Unfold the wipe to quarter or half size.Hold against the bird poo for 10-20 seconds WITHOUT wiping.(Just let the fluid do it's work to soften the poo).Very gently rub once 20 seconds has passed, but DO NOT apply pressure.If the bird poo is still too hard to wipe away, then hold the wipe against the poo for another 30 seconds.Try to gently rub away the poo again, but DO NOT apply pressure.The above method works 9 times out of 10.Sometimes, when a bird has literally dropped it's entire guts on one spot on the car and it has totally hardened, then you may need to do all of the above 2 or 3 times.The reason you should NOT wipe too soon, and why you should NOT apply pressure, is to prevent damage to your paintwork.You don't want to be scratching the paint on your car, by rubbing the hard and abrasive bird poo!This product works effectively 90% of the time.Occasionally (very rarely), more than 1 wipe is required before everything is successfully removed.These wipes are quite expensive and I am not convinced they represent good value.At over 75p a wipe (£7.56 a box of 10)... that is quite a lot of money for something that you'll use quite often.Personally, I think that 50p a wipe would be a far better reflection of it's true worth (ie £5 a box).I will buy again though, as they are handy to keep in the glovebox or boot and take up less space than a bottle of bird poo removing spray (that would also require an additional microfibre cloth to be kept in the car)I gave this product 4 starsEase of Use = 5Cleaning Power = 4Value = 2.5Overall, this item is recommended.... Just wish it was a bit better value...

Good product

The problem with living at the seaside like I do, is that we tend to get lots of holiday makers and day trippers, who come here and feed the shitehawks (also known as seagulls).My coastal town is swamped by scavenging herring gulls, which are not much smaller than your average size albatross. When the fishing boats go out from the harbour here, the shitehawks tend to follow them in the hope of swooping down on the eventual catch.However, when there's no rich pickings to be had at sea, the gulls know they can rely on the idiots who come here on dry land and happily feed them before they get back in their cars or board their coaches and go back home to their pristine-clean inland suburbs, leaving us seaside natives to clear up the mess that they instigated.As a direct consequence of the gull-feeders, the swoopers get over-indulgent and have to rain their massive deposits down somewhere, which is usually on my car parked on my driveway. So, I say a big sarcastic "thank you" to all those people who come here and willingly hand their bacon butties or sausage rolls to the shitehawks, because I have to purchase and use these poop wipes to clear the seagull crap that you indirectly caused off my car before it damages the paintwork.These wipes are what they are. They scoop the poop but I don't think that a pack of 10 is going to be enough, especially after I've washed my car for the umpteenth time and it gets dive-bombed again almost immediately!It's a pity these wipes can't be reused several times as they would then be cost-effective. But, they do the job and, at the end of the day that's all I can hope for. Value for money? Nope. Effective? Yep.

Excellent product, perfect for the job. A1++.

The product itself is great, but the boxes where crushed and tops open poor packaging

I’ve purchased several boxes of these wipes over the years for the simple reason that they just work, even on dried on deposits. Yes they are quite pricy but I’ve not had any paintwork damage when using them which is a big plus. Also, unlike packs of wet-wipe type alternatives as each wipe in individually wrapped they dont dry out.After using the wipes there tends to be some residue so its good to wash the effected area but if that is not possible for example if you are out and about its not a problem as even when it dries it can be washed off at a later date.I would recommend these wipes and tend to keep a few in the glove box just in case.
