Help: Bird droppings !

Got another bird dropping today in the middle of my hood...It won't come off with washing, waxing. Had one before on the trunk and after the dealer tried to remove it with polish and wax and electric buffer...it did not come off.

This one is huge and middle of the hood.....any products ?

Wait a minute, are you saying it has already etched into your paint? Bummer. Are you even sure it is a bird dropping? How about some pics?

I had a bird dropping (I think) that etched the clear coat. It took several minutes and dabs of a polishing cream to soften the etch but I can still see it today if I look just right.

Yes, it's permanent. Sorry.

If it sits there long enough, you're SOL. It will etch clear through to the paint, and there isnt much you can do beside re-spray.

My wife let some bird cr*p sit on the of her hood Sienna too long, and even 2000 grit sandpaper couldn't get it completely out. It's not as obvious, but there's still a shadow of it from certain angles.

Look for a pro-detailer to have a look...polishing can help but in some cases wet sanding is the answer....I really don't think that its gone all the way threw the clear coat...if there is still a sheen on that area then you still have clear. that's my suggestion about it

If I see that a bird has crapped on my car, I'll usually pull over ASAP, or remove it with Meguiars spray and wipe as soon as I see it. However I have noticed a few blemishes on the roof, which appear to be from bird droppings. Looks like someone has dropped some acid on the roof of my car. Instead of being jet black, it has these dark grey blobby shaped stains. No amount of cleaning I've done has been able to remove them.

Thank guys....I used the wax as soon as I had a chance to. I am parked at the office ...By the time I discover the dropping, it has been sitting in the sun probably for a few hours...no other choice....So I first wet it ....try to wipe it very crefully and than use some wax (Meguair) and still......you can see the whole thing ....since I wrote this I got another one on my trunk lid. I am pissed off ! the one on the hood looks like a big splash....I will try to take pictures this week and post them.

I am going to try some 3M polish for cars... they seem to have a professional line of products

I will let you know.

Are you parking under trees or phone/power lines?
