How do I protect my car from bird poop?
I usually have to park my car on the street below a tree. After a single day, it's covered with bird poop. I take it to be washed regularly, but the cost of those visits are adding up, and I'm getting frustrated. How can I protect my car from bird poop?

expensive paint job
as a result. While this may be covered by your

One of the best ways to make sure you’re getting the best price on the coverage you need is through the
