Unhappy yellow stains on my Z..

Hi guys, I just washed my car yesterday and discovered there are some yellow stains I am not able to remove (probably from bird poops ) Do you guys have that before? I am thinking about Zainoing my Z later, do you know if I should get the z-18 claybar to remove that?

Thanks

Use a mild polishing compound like 3M Swirl Mark Remover part number 39009, of course try a regular cleaner wax first before the 3M....

I had yellow stains from bugs on my Z that I tried to get off using lots of different things, but nothing worked. I was told to wait, and sure enough, after a week or so, the stains just disappeared. I have read a few threads where people have the stains, and they just waited also and they went away. Before you try all sorts of different cleaners and polishing compounds, try waiting a week first. If it doesn't work, you can go back and try the cleaners. If it goes away, you won't do any damage to your paint
