That, my friend, is the $64,000 question. Answer it and the world will beat a path to your door.

Well, tell us your secret, because I think you are the only Autopian who can get bird crap on his car and not have it make a mark.

there is no secret. what i meant was that i never ran into this problem before with any of the other cars i have washed.



on my maxima, i know for a fact there has been bird crap sitting on the spoiler for more than 1 week straight. and it came right off when i used water and soap. i didnt even think that bird crap was a problem for paint jobs until it recently happened to me with my IS300.



and since i have washed other cars and noticed that bird crap wasnt a problem. i just came to one conclusion. all bird crap is not the same, which is kinda obvious i guess. thats all i can come up with.



it just sux for us car enthusiasts that a damn bird can ruin our paint jobs. awesome!

nah, from now on i will clean it right when i see it.....i was just trying to make a point that i never thought bird crap was this big of a deal for paint. thats all...im not saying that everyone is wrong and i dont have this problem. i hope i didnt make it sound like that.

Hold on there, fella! If the bird stuff has etched into the clearcoat, gas nor anything else won`t help. The best you can do is to make sure the acid is neutralized (some disagreement on here about how far you need to go to accomplish that). If it`s really not very deep, you may be able to polish it out, or at least fill it with something like Meguiar`s #7 or #81 or a similar product, to make it less noticeable.
