Bird poo etched my paint in 10mins

Maybe suspend a cat above your car?  But then that would probably mean the cat would poop on your car instead.  Seriously though, I feel your pain.  There is nothing worse than looking out of the window to see a massive pile of bird poo baking in to the paint work of your pride and joy, especially just after you have slogged away cleaning the thing prior to the incident.

Haha, yeh cat poo stinks too. I love nature, but not their crap on my car

Is the car left all day? If so, why don't you put a car cover over it. Wash it off when you get home, ready for the next day...just a thought especially if they're using your car as a toilet.

Car covers unfortunately can shift around a lot whilst on the car causing swirls, so it might be a solution to bird poo, but causes it's own problems. 

I had to wash my bonnet again today after it got hit by the overhead flying crapmeisters, whilst driving along. The entire was panel covered in the stuff, grrr.

As nano/ceramic coatings go, it's probably the best one out there in terms of resilience and durability, and should be telling that it's the only coating that cannot be machine polished off, instead it can only be removed by wet sanding as it bonds with the paint at the substrate level.  It's purported to last 7 years but whether that's true, who knows, as most enthusiasts have probably long moved onto their next car before having chance to find out.  I know of a quite a few with Crystal Serum on their cars and although it won't stop swirling etc completely (nothing will), by all accounts it does offer some level of protection against it, which others such as even Crystal Serum Light don't really do.  And it should repel the dirt (especially coupled with Gtechniq Exo) well thus helping with regular maintenance washes.
