bird sh1t has burnt my bonnet!

[matchboy]

help!  bird sh@t on my car at some point in the evening yesterday (the splatter is as big as my hand).  had it cleaned first thing this morning.  the f7cking bird sh1t has burnt through my paintwork!  and i had it supagarded.  phoned them they said use 'wipeaway' (don't know if i have that) but that its not covered by their guarantee (to be fair she was ok about it).

anyone had this before?  any solutions?  is this vw's fault for a sh1te application of the product?  just shows the supagard is not worth the money (£free!) as it hasn't f7cking worked.  my bonnet is ruined - not happy.   

help!!

Supergaurd is a waist of money not worth 2 bob!! I would contact guy in the detailing section ask for some advice getting it out?? Me I use warm water when getting bird crap off my car. But you need a good selent on there like Chemical Guys 109 with a decent wax on top for future protection!!

You might find that it hasn't burnt through the top coat after all. The mark might be what's left of the crap (it's usually urine, BTW). Bathe the area in milk (seriously ) and then wash gently several times as usual (warm water + car shampoo). If this still doesn't do the trick, try a light polish & wax. You've got nothing to lose, after all. Hope this helps.

I keep some Autoglym wipes in the glovebox for bird poo emergencies! Got mine from Halfords.

mate, if you were up Glasgow I'd have machined that out for you.  

If Froggies ideas dont help, try a heavier cut polish and a good bit of elbow grease.

Well if a bird sh@t on my car I would finish with her.

I have this also on the side of my car,you won`t get rid of it without professional help,i have at least six coats of dodo juice purple haze pro on mine which is suppose to wax and protect.It will be pigeon sh1t which damages the clear coat which stands out more on dark cars.I asked a question on the detailing section but no one could help i now just get it off quick.

wax is not the protection you think, and wax cannot be layered so you may have applied 6 coats, but as you cant layer wax that was 5 coats too much, yeah apply it twice for coverage but more than 2 and nothing is happening.

Bird sh!t is like frickin acid and the wax will not stand up to it, wax after all is a sacrificial layer, be aware the ba5tards eat sand to help them digest so that comes out through their sh!t, so be extra careful when wiping off as it can easily swirl/scratch your car.

I had a car with sh!t on it, and it took a machine for me to get it out. It was hard too.

Well I got peppered plastered with large dollops of this natural discharge some time ago. The poo mounds baked beautifully in the sun and were as hard as rock when I got to the car. As I was opening the door, a low flying bird discharged it's load onto my trousers exactily where my family jewels are! The shock of the strike was profound on my psyche and on my trousers! Talk about being shat upon from a great height.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I sprayed the poo mounds with some PH balanced Dove 2 in 1 shampoo (conditioner does help) and water. It's all that I had available in this emergency. Half an hour later, the poo slid off beautifully with not a mark on the paint.
Obviously, the Toughseal helped with protection!
