Help! How to get rid of bird dropping stain on the Car?

[Maharlika]

I've tried washing , then polish and it still can't get rid of the stain on my paint finish. Any suggestions? !

Perhaps some clay would work.

wash it. clay bar it. wash it again.

Properly washing a car is such tiresome work, but then I don't trust those "places", usually faux-Tuscan to boot.

i'd say buy a pellet gun and shoot all the birds first, then clean it.

Human urine is a great stain remover. Piss on the spot, let it dry in the sun and then wash it.

No hope, buy new car.

Claybars, as suggested by others, usually work pretty well at that sort of thing. Any automotive store should have them. The best solution is to get it early. Every car's trunk should contain a spray-bottle of quick-detailer (I use Meguiar's but doubt there's much difference between any of them) and a good microfiber cloth to get them as soon as you see them. And either keep the car garaged or covered if you're not going to be using it for a while.

I did go to the car wash and gave it the "Ambassador" wash. It still didn't come off. I"m going to try the clay bar. I will have to spend half a day to do the "Zaino" thing. Thanks!

You've heard the phrase "fight fire with fire"?

Some birds have acid ****, you should not let the bird **** stay a long time over your paint...

Clay will work to a point but if it has eaten through a layer of clear the only way to remove it may be to use a orbital/rotary and some polish or compound. You can differ the cut based on the pads you use but always start with the lightest possible and work to heavy only if needed.

Pardon my ignorance but what is a clay bar? Is it just a bar of clay or a name for something else?

Something tells me I'm in for it by asking this question

It is literally a bar of clay, albeit a special automotive clay. After a good wash you spray detailing mist or lubricant on the car and rub the clay over the surface of the car. It will pick up contaminants that polishes and compounds can't. You can see the stuff it picks up in the clay in the form of dirt. As you move the clay it will grab at first in areas with contaminants but as you rub will get super slick. The final result is a contaminant free super slick car ready to be polished.

I just clayed my car today and taped it all off for tomorrow which is going to be a long day of compounding and polishing to remove swirls and scratches, followed with a coat of acrylic wax, a sealant, and final gloss coat.

Then I have another car to do after that including wash and clay and another to do scratch removal and wax/sealant.

I better wake up early.

Hello Jetblast. I've been using this product ( Zaino ) and it's really one of the best on the market. I just haven't polished my own car in over a year... been lazy and going to the car wash instead. Hope this link explains it better. I may have to do it this weekend.
