Unhappy Bird poop...NOO!!!!

Lets just say....

big bird + lots of food + my fit = Dirty door.

Ugh its sooo lame. I was cleaning the inside of my car because i had two pugs in it all weekend. Well i had to take a break from cleaning the inside to go to school. After class tho i came to see that i had a giant mess on my right door. I thought well...ill wash it off when i clean my car. Knowing that keeping poop on a clear coat is bad i didnt think its effects were going to be so soon because i've left poop on the top of my car for a max of 3 days without damage.

Well the next morning (today) i decided to wash my car. Everything was looking nice untill i dried my car. Where the poop was is now a very very very faint splat mark. Its hard to explain what it looks like but its destracting me enough because it breaks the pattern of the clear coat.

SO i washed my car again focussing on that part of the car. I used my Turtle wax Ice liquid clay bar. I used a actual clay bar with a slight polish after that and its still there.

Does anyone have any tips they can give me to get rid of this mark left by the poop?

if you get bird poop on your car, get it off ASAP! it is very acidic and will eat the clearcoat.

Can never get rid of'em. They multiply like rabbits. Their fly-by dropping is deadly and right on target.

Damn birds!
