Bird Crap Wont come off :(
guys recently i was washing my car and realised that there was some bird crap on my rear left passenger door. i tried to wash it off but it does not come off. the car is clean x 12 and when you look at the paint from an angle you can still see the mark of the bird crap. how can i get that mark off? ive tried my best to get it off but looks like i need to buy a product for it. any clues? all ideas are welcome. cheers, buri

Have you tried using a clay bar yet? If clay doesn't work, you might need to wetsand the paint - which I would leave to a professional.

I agree with James. If clay fails, you can buy a product names Quixx from walmart. The product is 15 bucks, but does work. It will remove scratches, and all kinds of stuff. It also includes paper just for wetsanding. I used it on my Audi 90 with spectacular results.

If you got it at autozone or pepboys. It most going to be a mild clay and not that aggressive.
