Bird Poop
So, I washed my lovely red G37 Tuesday morning and it was looking pretty good. Played golf that afternoon and came back to a car that had been shat on by a bird/terodactyl that had clearly been up until 3am drinking Budweiser product and eating Taco Bell. I have never seen so much crap in my life! Huge poop on the rear bumper, trunk, rear window, roof, and windshield. Anyway, went through a touchless wash and most of it came off.
Unfortunately, there was still some on the roof so I gently used some Windex and a cloth to get it off. I had just waxed the car last week, so I figured it would come right off. It did, but left stains. I tried a scratch remover and cleaner wax to get the stains out and they won't come out. Any suggestions? The poop was only on the car for 3 hours.
Cliffs: Bird poop on roof for 3 hours or less stains red G37. Can't get stain out with swirl remover and wax. What do I do?

Will try to get some pics. Not sure if they will show up in a picture. Going away for the weekend after work today and away for business on Monday, so I won't have a chance to try anything until next weekend!

Those darn Teradactyls are everywhere!!! lol! I was crackin up when I read that... That's what I call birds too when my car gets shat on... lol... Ya try a clay bar, then polish it and wax it... Hopefully that works for you... It usually does for me so it should for you... Only difference is that I don't use Windex to remove it initially... Get a bottle of Adam's Detail Spray to remove it... It works great and smells good too... http://www.adamspolishes.com/c-11-detail-spray.aspx

For some reason our paint is very suceptible to damage by bird poo. I had a very small spot of it on my OB for aobut 3 or 4 hours in the baking Texas sun. Mind you I had put on 2 coats of sealant and 1 coat of wax. In that amount of time it had burned into the paint and i wasn't able to get it completely off short of spot polishing it with cutting polish and having to reseal/wax the spot. Bird crap is disastrous to our paint. Use cutting polish/finishing polish then seal the hell out of it for maximum protection forthe next time it happens.

I carry around enough small bottles of various product to do a full detain in my trunk! the problem is that if you don't get it immediatley you're screwed. I had some etch the paint and the car had only been parked for 45 minutes before I came back and got it off with quick detailer.

My routine for bird bombs is typically
1. My QD (PB's S&W)
2. Clay
3. Polish
It's extremely rare that I have to resort to using a polish. 95% of the time, my QD will remove it completely.
