BIRD $hit stains
I washed my OB G yesterday because at work a bird took a HUGE sheit on my hood. Yesterday was actually a warm day and it was pretty caked on. When I washed and dried the car I noticed that there was still a shadow from the BIRD $HIT
, it seems that it dulled out the paint that it touched/or ate at the clear coat..HELP does anybody have any ideas.

I've had those happen to me on other cars. I'm sorry but as far as I know, there's no way to entirely remove them. Maybe someone else can chime in, but I've tried lots of products to remove them (aside from removing clear coat and paint). Nowadays, I carry a bottle of water and sponge in my trunk at all times to deal with these incidents.
The bird poop has acid in it and coupled with sun, will react with the clear coat/paint in a very damaging way.

Have you tried a type of "cleaner wax"?
As long as it is mildly abrasive, you should be ok. I have even used Turtle Wax cleaner wax to some success with the after effects of seagull crap.

bird droppings are highly acidic and will etch into the clearcoat. The only way to remove this is to take it to a pro-detailer and machine buff it; however, if it is deep enough, wet-sanding will be necessary.
