Bird dropping stain
Not on my vette..
Left my DD in a parking garage at the airport while I was traveling for a couple of days...came back to a nasty dump on the hood...friggin bird must of had refried beans or something
Anyway, washed the car. I can still see a stain. What's the best way to get rid of it? The finish is black clearcoat.

Used Clay Bar...ended up doing the whole car...then polished...then waxed. The while your at it ended up taking the whole day!
Looks as if the stain is gone, but it's hard to tell in my garage and it's not bright enough out to see very well. I'll check in the morning.

Once it has eaten through you are stuffed, I hope the clay bar works for you but.......................
