 ok i got a flint mica gray tC and right now its summer.. so i decided to eat in a fast food and park it under a tree.. so after i eat the car wont be hot...

by the time i come back.. bird poop all over my hood.. and tonight i wiped it with wet tower and wipe dry it with paper towels.. i noticed there's a white spot left on the pooped places.. and it doesnt go away ...

tips?

 I dont believe so. Bird poop is very bad for paint. Its acidic so the markings you see is where there used to be a clear coat. The bird poop ate right through your clear coat. It sux but on my old flint mica I would notice this a few times. Best thing you can do for the future is carry a bottle of all purpose cleaner and some towels...

 same thing happened to me.. when i got off work it looked like a squadron of birds circled my car and took turns dropping bombs all over my poor tC.. i wiped off what i could and drove home as fast as possible to wash my car and re-wax it.. thankfully i had waxed my car a few days before.. a blessing in a curse really pigeons should be shot on sight

 you cant "take it off" because what happened is your clear coat is gone. I had that happen on my flint mica and I couldnt find a solution...

 The best thing to do is to get it buffed with a light polish compound and then put 2 coats of wax on. If you wax your car, you protect it from bird bombs, the stuff will wipe right off instead of etching your paint.

 I heard a good way to take off bird droppings was to mix baking soda and water, and that would neutralize the acid from the bird droppings.
