Question How to clean bird droppings off paint??

I cleaned it with water and wipe off right after I see it (after the car being in the sun). Now the surface is smooth, but at close range, I can see marks (like water spots) on the paint. What can I do?? I have about 5 or 6 coats of Zaino on my car, how come the marks? Please help!

Sorry Admin.....I know it'll be moved, but I need people to see and help!!

I dont know much about the Zaino, but clean it really well, polish, and then wax. I usually keep a bottle of Meguires quick detail in my trunk with a clean 100% cotton diaper for that kind of situation.....again though I don't know how it works with Zaino product. Hope that helps. Mark.

The carbonation "lifts" the bird poo, and then you can gently wipe it off. I guess orange soda would work too, but it would get all sticky and stuff.

To get rid of the actual bird **** use Seltzer Water, then wash remains of the droppings off by spraying with water. This works really well, but Seltzer water will not remove the stain.

3M Imperial Hand Glaze will remove the bird stains on your clear coat. If that does not do it mix the 3M IHG with P21S GEPC and use that. You will need to remove the wax, I usually wash my car with Dawn, then wash it with car wash soap. Then apply the 3M IHG, if need be really rub the spot with the stain. After using the glaze (I usually do the entire car) apply a coat of wax. My personal favorite is 1 Grand Blitz Wax (carnuba), this wax is amazing.
