Protecting a street parked car.

[T Fades]

Curious OP, how old are you? Maybe it is time to get your own pad. Then you make the rules and can park where ever you want.

Maybe get rid of the expensive car and stop living at home?

You should move out and get your own place where you can keep your car safe.

Or park in the driveway.

Third option would be sell it and buy some other car, so the Mustang will stop getting hit.

At least you just have to worry about other idiots hitting your car, my dumb ass just backed up with the door open the other day and creased the edge of the door hitting my neighbors RV!

Oh, and OP, going forward please do not put "URGENT" in the title. That is misleading and terms like that should only be used if there is a REAL emergency.

This is the message Dad is seemingly trying to convey imo.

Keep 2 neon orange cones in the trunk and use them when and where necessary. 1 cone in the front and 1 in the rear

If I had to park on a street, it would be a beater and nothing I care about.

My next suggestion, then, is [1] move elsewere and live somewhere you can protect what is for most folks their second-largest purchase or [2] park your Mustang elsewhere, even if it requires short stroll on your part.

Strictly my personal opinion - anywhere (and anyone) that can forbid you from parking in the driveway after your car has been hit FIVE times is not someone worth sharing living space with.

You deserve a situation both far more sensible and considerate.

It my parents house since I'm near the city everyone wants 3-4x rent as monthly income. Which means I'd have to make around 6-10k a month. I don't make anywhere near that which I think is stupid that they need you to make that much to cover a 1500-2k rent

I see lots of grass. Modify your driveway to have a paved spot for your vehicle. It can be done tastefully with a bit of thought.

Parents won't allow it

Well any ideas on removing bird poop from 2 day old paint? I didn't shuffle cars so it got parked farther back and as expected it got covered. Almost the entire car with a couple dozen spots. I'm guessing brand new paint and a pressure washer is a bad idea, and since it's still soft wiping it off will scratch it so how do I remove it?

I feel like youd probably be ok using a low pressure stream of water... like the wide or spray setting on a garden hose.... be generous with the water and if you gotta dry it, dont rub, just drape a microfiber towel over it and pull across...

Any residue left over; give it a few days and hit it with a clay bar or clay mitt

And, as always... dont do it in direct sunlight

It's a very cloudy day so I'm going to just use the jet setting on the hose and spray it down and I guess lightly wipe off what's left?

I used to run my own landscaping company , used this stuff a bunch of times for people. A lot for a double gate type situations for a boat or caravan parking spot beside house. But due to local council bye laws you can not add 2nd driveway concrete from road to fence on the median strip. This stuff is the solution. Very popular in Australia and I’m sure you guys would have something similar. Your dad will still have his lawn and you will have a car park. Maybe is a compromise you dad will agree too.

Gentle spray... not too close to the paint... spray at an angle... dont directly blast it, shoot from the sid, so the water is flowing across the paint
