help removing bird droppings Well I washed my car a few days ago, and I just got home and noticed that a bird had pooped on it. It sat on there for a few days. Anyways, I cleaned it off, and noticed it left an impression in my paint. It is like a duller/matte silhouette of the bird poop. Can anyone give me some advice on removing this? I claybar'd it with a mothers bar, tried scratch and tar remover, and even tried alcohol. I rewaxed over it so it doesnt look bad, but I would like to strip the wax back off and fix it for good. Does anyone have any suggestions or can offer any help?

If it has etched the clearcoat (which it sounds like it has), you'll likely need to polish it out with a mild abrasive polish and a polisher. Menzerna FP2 or Tropi-Care Swirl Cutter ought to do the trick.

like he said, any good mild abrasive polish and a D/A... you could even get away by hand polishing with a microfiber applicator and Scratch-X. Should give you exactly what you're looking for.
