    Bird stain removal

    I had left a new black Camry in my garage for a while not driving while using another one of my cars for a daily driver. I walked around my garage earlier this week and noticed a lot of bird poop down the right door. It looked like the bird sat on the mirror and pooped all down the door. I cleaned it off the best I could with my normal cleaners, but there was still a mess. I then used vinegar and water, not much luck. I took it to a car wash with all the soft washers and still no luck. On the way home I stopped at a local auto parts store and looked at everything. I settled on Turtle Wax spray bug and tar remover thinking I would need to get the door buffed or painted. The paint looked like the clear coat was flaking and pitting, messy. I started spraying the bug remover on and rubbed it with a mf towel and repeatedly spraying the door and rubbing. After about half an hour I could tell it was working. I could not believe it actually worked. This will stay in my cleaning cabinet from now on.

    when product will not remove bird droppings, etched rain spots, bugs and etc. it is etched into the paint and no cleaner will remove. I very light compound will need to be used to buff out the spot. Keep in mind that paint and clear have a finite depth to work with.

    You haven't watched ANY of my paint correction videos, eh?

    Yes, after I successfully removed the mess on my door. You have a good technique obviously, but I got lucky with what I tried. I will try your method if I get caught in a mess like this again.
