I can imagine you are mate. I've had some luck restoring paint work after my good lady wife left a dollop of bird shite (although judging from the size it may as well have been an elephant ...) on the bonnet of her MX5 for over a week in baking sun. In a nutshell - get paintwork cleaned by washing with a good quality shampoo and tar remover. Use a well lubricated claybar on the affected area and then carefully polish the area using a mild cutting compound (I think I used Meguiar's No. 80). Once that was done I used a show car glaze and then applied two layers of wax. I must say that even on the red paint of the MX5 you can't tell where the mark was. I now make it a point to inspect her car every other day just to make sure this doesn't happen again. Having a propperly applied layer of wax also helps minimise the effect of acidic bird droppings.

 

Hope the above info is of some use to you mate.

 

All the best,

I couldn't agree more.....

 

.......The crap then just attacks the coating of wax (or silicone etc etc) rather than your paint; even if it's a few days before you can clean it off.
