bird poop is a killer

[JumpmanYaris]

Dude the first bird that pooped was airborn just flying by but the second one made the mistake of landing in front of my porch so i got the BB gun and injured the bird, later on that day i felt bad for the bird but the more I looked at the car the guilt was less and less lol. It sucks specially if u have a BLK car

I highly doubt just claying or even a light by hand compound is going to remove the etching in the clear from the poop. Its literally in the paint. And the easiest most effective way to remove the etching is going to be having that area professionally buffed, even then it may not come out completely. In that case have the area wet sanded. Only bad thing about that is you will have one area that looks AWESOME and the rest is swirled to crap. heh

Although hand polishing is a bit labor intensive, I would still give it a try before employing a pro with a buffer. The pro will probably take care of the etched-in stain, but will probably remove more clear than is required. Straight-cut buffers can be pretty aggressive.

I've been pleasantly surprised on several occasions by what Scratch-X can do. To me, it's more satisfying to have solved a problem myself (cheaper, too) instead of paying a pro.
