Car cleaner

Hopefully this hasn't been asked.
Looking for a home remedy to bird shit. I'm thinking of something kept in a spray bottle in the trubk with some towels and such

***Also, while we're at it****
Let's compile a list of must-haves to keep in the car at all times.
I'll start with
-tbd bird shit spray bottle
-microfibers and shop towels

Quick detailer is the key. Or just a gallon of water.
Key is to get it off the car as quick as possible. It does nasty stuff to paint.

I use diluted APC. Drench, and lightly clean the affected area.

I will reiterate what has been said. Meguiar's Quik Detailer works great. Also, diluted Optimum No Rinse is a good option.

Realy? Lubrication in an APC is zero so opening yourself up for micromarring , besides that if there is any wax/sealant at all on the car your removing it.

Water isn't that great either .. QD or ONR etc.

It's ironic that you mention this, as I find myself sometimes QD'ing the spot after I wipe it with the diluted APC. I guess I could save myself a step.

Nice, Ill be picking up the quick detailer since it sounds like it can be used for a variety of purposes.

What else do you guys think would be good to always keep in the trunk?
i always keep leather cleaner and meguiars interior wipes. with a bunch of micro fibers and shop towels. also wont go anywhere with a quick headlight cleaner.

Hahaha; I shit you not, that didn't even cross my mind.
So glass cleaner is good!
I also recently used super glue on the window lock toggle(?)/switch(?)
So I would say some super glue for random quick fixes is clutch too
