Bird droppings are some of the worst "fallout" you can encounter. The only way to remove bird drop etching is to wet sand and compound/polish. Best done by a reputable body shop. You can use over the counter stuff until the cows come home but you'll never remove it.

I carry a detailer spray and towels in all of my cars and check my car 2X/day for droppings when it's hot and sunny. It only takes a short time before it eats through the clear and....depending on what the bird ate, the results can be immediate.

I do the same thing with my cars. I found out the hard way that you must remover any bird droppings ASAP.

Another paint killer in the summer is tree sap.
