I have four hazy spots on my paint from bird dropping. I can't check on my vehicle during my office hours. Finger buffing with diminishing abrasive such as Meguair Scratch-X helps, but the haze is still visible upon close inspection. I think I need a wet sanding expert.

Roy - The birds are picking on you because you are the new kid on the block. Next time, fire a few rounds into air after you park the car. They will back off. 
The purple shit is probably caused by the oil spill in the Gulf.
Are you coming to the meet? C'mon drive back up here for the weekend.

Where I have to park at home is under where the cable and phone lines come to the house. I swear the birds sit on those lines and use the hood of my car for target practice. One day there were 12 bulls eyes. I have gotten used to carrying a wet paper towel, detail spray and a microfiber towel out when I get ready to leave.
