Default Bird poop!

I parked at the Willows, went into the golf mart come out to my car 30 min later, rather large bird deposit on top of the drivers side front fender, I drive home wash it off then decide to wash the entire car. After drying the car I notice a blemish the exact size and place where the brid deposited his waste, I have tried everything it won't come off, Help!!!!

I had the same thing happen recently. I think Bird Poop is actually a combination of things and it may eat through the clearcoat. I havent been able to get mine {stain}off with paint cleaner or polish. I dont want to use rubbing compound.

Maybe a pro detalier could do it?

You will need a buffer to remove it. Bird droppings are HIGHLY acidic. And the catalyst is heat. So if its on a cold night....you're ok for a little while. On a hot summer day on a black car....it can litterally etch the clearcoat within minutes. Got a pic of it? I may be able to help.

It's just the magical coat of armour the Impala has on it.

You're thinking of wild boar.. I shot one of those things 5 times with a 300 weatherby once and that sucker would not keel over.. I pulled 2 slugs out of the heart and the other three from the armor.. I was amazed.. the impala has the blazin speed and quick maneuvers..

Wait a week or two the paint will clear up on its own, I don't know how but mine did, I used scratch remover, polish nothing worked after a few weeks the blemish was gone !!
