Hey everybody,

So yesterday, I parked in a Target parking lot and a bird decided to use my 400E as a target when he had to do business...

I got most of the spots off, but there are like 3 spots on the rear quarter panel up by the gas flap that seem to be laminated in the paint!

I don't want to mess up the finish, but I've already tried wax, bug and tar remover, soap and water. It's not coming out.

Any suggestions?

How bout a polish around that area... it's gotta come off! Or it must've been one BIG A$$ bird!

clay it? i never had that much problem with bird **** before

respond to normal treatment.

I have even tried Menzerna Intensive Polish with a orange pad (mild abrasive) and then gone over the spot with Menzerna Final Polish and a white pad and that makes some headway.

If those options do not work wet sanding may be your only option. Wet sanding may not be a DIY project. A trusted body shop or possibily a very good detailer can properly do this.

Using a clay bar will remove some of the particles after you clean the area, but it will not help the "stain" itself.

I wound up leaving a spot and started carrying a quick detailer spray and a microfiber towel for just such emergencies.
