I've seen some bird bombs that were practically glued to the surface. I had to deal with a small one like that this morning. I sprayed it with 425, let it soak, used the MF, repeat, repeat. Still one stubborn spot that just wouldn't come off. I didn't like it, but after repeated efforts and soaking, I practically had to scrub with the MF, for awhile. I plan on polishing in the near future anyway, but dang that bomb was stuck.
