damn a gallon of bird shit, that's a lot of shit =P i usually just let the dealer do the dirty work and then do a little touch up after i get my car back. I know it's just not the same, but they get the job done.

I hope you weren't asking if you could use Windex on your paint to clean up the oil and bird crap. Just wash the car with some car soap. I use Liquid Crystal or Gliptone soap. That should get off most of the oil and grease and then throw on a quick coat of wax and everything should be fine. Now if the oil is on the interior like the glass, I would use Clearview glas cleaner cause it is safe for all tints and pretty much gets my windows spotless. Hope this is of some help to you.

make sure you use car wash product...dishwashing liquid would strip the paint of its natural oils/
