I use a little bit of gasoline and then I put a match to it to burn it off. If that doesn't do it, I get my flat head screw driver out and try to chisel it off. These methods work pretty well.

Quote: Bird poop actually damaged my clear coat
I had a reserved parking spot under a bird $hit factory when I lived in Chicago - - my clearcoat began to get these weird slight ripples on spots where prolonged exposure to bird crap had occurred. I had a body shop give the car a once over when I had it in to paint a quarter panel.

Rubbing out the clearcoat did the trick. Looked like new. You just can't rub out the clearcoat all the time. It's only so thick!

For sap, just get very hot water and pour it over the sap and work it off. Its the safest thing to do...its just like maple syrup. I only resort to chemicals when stuff like road tar is involved. Since that is petroleum, you need a distillate of some sort to remove it.

Infiniti Paint has been notoriously known to be weak as are the brakes, and the tire issue (eating tires). However, I would never use Simple Green on anything other than my driveway to get rid of grease. That stuff will take the dye off your seats and the clear coat off your paint. The clear bra helps the most with the front bumper. If you don't have one... You need something very non abrasive. The Infiniti paint soaks in everything and it's hard to remove stains. Good luck.
