Can a ceramic coating protect a car from bird droppings?
A ceramic coating will resist and slow the etching.
Depending on what the bird has been eating, bird droppings can be highly corrosive. While ceramic and graphene coatings are very good at resisting chemical etching, it is recommended that bird droppings are both cleaned and neutralized as quickly as possible, as they will cause damage.
We recommend, that you keep a soft cloth and a purpose made bird mess remover in the boot of your car.
Although they dry out, it is a good idea to keep some baby wipes or wet wipes in the car too, and these can be bought cheaply. You can wipe off the bird poop with these, and then spray on the bird mess remover generously. This should help to neutralize any corrosive compounds remaining on the surface of the coating. Then just buff it off with a soft cloth.
