So yesterday I break out the power washer, suds, brush, and give it a full wash. Probably the third or fourth time I have actually hit it with a brush.. Usually I just suds it down and power wash it, similar to the touchless carwashes and keep the brush contact to a minimum..

So an hour later, engine compartment and everything I park it out on the street clear from any tree branches.. Japanese beetle problem in our yard.. and sure enought, almost like they made the rear VW an aerial target.. Bird **** right on the rear hatch...

Can't even go 4 hours with a nice clean car...

It happens to me too. As soon as it's washed and dried, in the garage he goes.

Do you think the high shine makes them think they're over the water?

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.
