Test complete! Bird shit ate right through my Rejex today! My car sat out at work for about 10 hours today in the sun, and when I finally got home to wipe off a silver dollar sized bird terd, it left a nice acid etched mark. Nothing I did worked to remove it like claying or polish, but nicke60gre left a prior post which suggested leaving the car outside in the sun for a few hours and it will "disappear." This may work because I had blemishes in my front bumper, all kinds of pits from small dust, etc. It was totally bumpy! It's a few months later now, and the front bumper is now perfectly smooth again. I am guessing the heat from the sun must've done something. If that doesn't work, I'll have to try some of the suggestions on here. I am disappointed in the Rejex, though...ate through it like it was nothing! 
Thanks, Nick!

I wonder if they're using something similar to the self-healing paint that Nissan developed a few years ago?

Like I said prior, my entire front bumper was pock-marked a while back, and now it's smooth as glass again. Maybe when I was going 130 mph last month, the wind smoothed out all the blemishes!

It is an interesting concept, but I am a believer, considering I've had multiple stains, bumps, marks and blemishes "heal up" and disappear after some time in the sun.

Have you checked under various light sources to make sure the marks are really gone?
Sounds too good to be true.
