    I Dawned my Black Miata before I

    was going to clay bar but the

    birds got her first. What they

    left actually seems to be IN the

    paint. What can I do to make her

    look good again? Thank You

    Use a mild rubbing compound followed by a good polish. The bird dropping is very acidic and it burns the paint, leaving an etch mark. You can reduce the appearance of the etched area by polishing.

    What can you do if the area is already lightly etched?
