Bird crap!!!!

Yesterday, my blue TL-S got bombarded by some pigeon squadron and there were 12 confirmed hits.

So I get the car washed and there were a few stains from the turds. I tried using Zymol cleaner wax but there are still marks.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of the turd stains?

Try Clay Bar. It usually takes care of everything.

Usually crap left long enough will etch into the clear coat.
I usually use a round of 3M swirl remover (harsher) followed by Scratch-X (milder) to get most of it out.

Yeah, you should remove it ASAP. The best way to remove stuff like that is with a good wax (i.e.. Meguiars, Mothers) and a buffing wheel. If you don't have a wheel, you can do it by hand, but be sure to go in a circular motion when doing it. When you're finished and have wiped all of the wax off, you can finish it off with some polish help shine and protect it.

Claybaring should take care of that natismati...or try some cleaner wax which should also work as well.

Try bug and tar remover first. Then hit it with some Zymol HD cleanse and follow that up with Zymol Japon. You will most likely be better than new. While you are at it, Hd cleanse your whole car and then hit it up with the Zymol Japon. I have had people ask me what kind of wax I use. It is not your normal shine. The Zymol Japon is not the same as the Zymol crap you get at autozone. It is pricy but if you do it right..it looks amazing.
