So i go and wash my car today after seeing some bird droppings on it. After all is washed and dried where the bird crap was I see a stain. I guess the acid got into the paint or w/e. Anyway i tried claybar, and a few other things but no luck. Does anyone have any ideas how to get this out?

 

Depends if you have a base coat/clear coat paint job or a one stage paint job.

With the bc/cc, if the damage is only in the clear, you can use a rubbing compound and polishing compound to carefully cut the clear just far enough to remove the stain and not penetrate to the base coat. If it is all the way down to the base coat, you will need to cut into the base coat and then reclear, this is difficult to make look perfect.

If you have a single stage paint, you just cut down with rubbing compound to remove the stain and then use a polishing/swirl remover compound to remove all of the fine scratches of the rubbing compound. Single stage paint usually doesn't give off the deep shine like bc/cc paint, but is easier to cut and polish out imperfections. I have seen some single stage paint look excellent tho.

Either way, you want to remove the minimal amount of paint using the least abrasive compound or wet sand paper as posible to do the job. This was all alittle over simplified, and some pro's hopefully will fill you in with some tips.

 

thinner. Then wax the area. We do that at the body shop I work at.
