Bird Poop Question

Bird Poop Question
I'm on the Acura RDX part of the forum and we're trying to figure out how to get out the "ghost" stain of bird poop. Meaning, after you wash the car, you can still see where the poop used to be. I had been using 70% isopropyl alcohol to get off bird poop without leaving a stain, but today I found an area that got hit and the alcohol didn't work. Is there a product that helps? If the answer is that I have to correct the actual clear coat, then I'm wondering how people do that since birds poop on their cars all the time. Thanks in advance.

if the bird poop was on there for too long before being removed, it may have itched into your clear coat, thus leaving that ghost stain your referring to.
any detailing wax or spray should be able to get it out with elbow grease otherwise

Do you have a recommendation for a product that has worked for you? Thanks!

a wax or spray will be a cleaner wax or a filler spray...meaning, it just fills in....and doesnt get rid of the etched poop.
will need to be paint corrected with a random orbital polisher and a polish. if you cant get it out with the machine and polish, then it needs to be wet sanded.
I thought we went over this, lol

I've used 5 to 1 Woolite in ghost bird poop and it worked wonders. This is on an 04 TSX I just aquired. I'm sure the previous owner didn't even try. But my guess, it's been on there for months. Give it a shot.

Foam cannons definitely have helped me when I am trying to wash my car, after it’s been bombed by birds. I let the thick foam start working for about 30 seconds before putting my wash mitt on and start scrubbing.
