Hey John,

That sounds like voodoo to me.

Thanks guys, I tried just about everything from polishing to waxing to claying nothing seems to work also tried voodoo that didnt help either. Now I'm just about to repaint it, damnnn. Now im constantly checking it every hour for bird poop and always find some but wipe it off immediately. The problem was that I let it sit thier for to long and it was hot out.

Yep - this is just good stuff one needs to have on hand. Not fair to try and account for the $$ for just 1 poop.

Maybe a high speed buffer with rubbing compound would work but I have never tried one of those and most likely won't buy one just to have for bird stains..

I had the same problem, I used simple alcohol wipes which magically disappeared the staine.

Get a PC or Griot's DA polisher and some of the recommended polish and sealant by our experts here and it will help unless it etches too much into the paint where you have to wet sand it. But the polisher is not just for fixing birds' poop. You can use it to detail your car to a shiny, swirl and scratch free car, with lots of manual labor of course.
