Bird poop.

I got a watermark on the hood from what I think was bird poop. I washed it. Clayed just that section. Klasse AIO'd it. Then Klasse SG. No dice. The watermark didn't even budge.

:doh

How do you get rid of those types of watermarks?
 
Maybe you can use some bug and tar remover. If you are looking for an OTC product, I recommend TW Bug & Tar Remover, but the one that comes in the metal can, not the one on the spray bottle. The last one sucks big time!!
 
Yep...you'll need to polish. It is amazing how quickly this happens. I had to spot-polish the hood of my wife's fairly new Acura recently. The bird poop was on there less than three hours, and the finish had a coat of sealant and two coats of wax.
 
Often times you will not be able to remove the etching, as it can run deep - sometimes all the way down to metal. If you have a little 3000 grit paper, this allows you to attack the spot with a little more control...just let us know if you need help with this process. Otherwise, try an aggressive compound then follow with polish.
 
The same thing happened to me, unfortunately. Wiped it off as soon as I saw it, and yet there is still a mark I can't seem to get rid of. I tried AIO and Prime to no avail. Haven't tried polishing yet though.



Geez...bird poop is really brutal on paint! I feel like they purposely aim for my car!
 
@Pennypacker.. they do! The shine of the cars attract them. My solution.. Rotary @ 9000 RPM w/ 100 grit sand paper. I NEVER get bird crap on my car. You should try it, works wonders.
