Bee Poo stain remover?
« on: April 26, 2026, 01:09:22 PM »
2025 Advance Sport Urban Grey: my neighbours have beehives (not complaining, we buy their honey) but the bees like to poo on my car. The poo comes off fine, but there are little yellow stains remaining. I suspect that they are embedded in the coating rather than the actual paint. Has anyone found a way to lift these stains off of Honda, or any other, paintwork? As a secondary question, how do I protect in future? I Normally wash with Autoglym and finish with Autoglym Aquawax

Unfortunately, I have no idea about the best way of getting rid of bee poo :)
Though, about protection: The first thing that comes to mind is a car port.

Autoglym Bird Dropping Wipes - probably do a good job

I used to get a lot of bee poo stains at a previous address. A superficial wash did  still  leave a sort of 'mustard' stain  but this wasnt too difficult to remove  with a bit more rubbing. i didnt use any special product. But the car was a corsa with fairly thick clearcoat over metallic paint,.

But excessive rubbing may cause problems long term.   I suggest giving the car occasional treatments with a ceramic sealant product  ,especially one claimed to offer extra protection  against  bee poo, bird droppings  ,tree sap etc.Either a spray on  nano coating or a polish type product. I cant recommend one in particular.    . The coating is  sacrificial so any damage  from the bees or cleaning will be limited to the  coating. They  can give  other benefits  such as better water beading which can help keep the car cleaner generally.

I have a blue beam metallic EX, and it suffers from insect poo. Unfortunately, the Honda paintwork is abysmal. It is soft and has no resistance to insect or bird boo if left too long. If you remove the top surface stain, there will always be a blemish underneath that is visible under certain light/closer examination. I wash my car frequently (once every 6 weeks), using Autoglym. I also wax it after a wash using Autoglym Aqua wax or sometimes Meguiars, all in the hope of adding some shell of protection... yet all in vein. I have tried a few T-cut brands to try and polish out these blemishes, but the paint is so weak that the mere hint of T-cut leaves swirl marks. The black roof is the worse area for this. I have never known the inside cup of door handles mark so easily on a car before too.. and neither of us wear rings or have long finger nails!
All my previous cars (Renaults) never suffered from this, the last being the Valencia orange. The last 4 cars all having eco friendly water based paintworks too.
I did have cause to get a Dent doctor in (after a trolley ding), and he said that Honda are one of the hardest to repair because the metalwork (dent wise) is thin, and the paint (chip/scratch) repair very soft.

Yep, that certainly should stop the dive bombers!
