sometimes after the poop dries in the sun, the only way to remove it is clay or polish.
i recommend removing it asap if you have a lighter colored car as it does stain.

Exactly why I started the thread. I used a Pinnacle clay bar last night and had no luck at all. Ive read that maybe this clay is too soft. I think id rather try a bug and tar remover first, then rewax the area before trying a harder clay. The last thing I want to do is screw up the paint...

The bug and tar remover is pretty safe for the most part. I use 1Z einszett Anti-Insekt. If it's deep enough where a clay bar can't get it, I don't think the b&t remover will either. Worth a shot though.

Yea, i went to the local auto zone and bought turtle wax bug and tar remover. It took off only a little of one of the spots, after a lot of scrubbing with a microfiber towel. Still not fixed totally. I think im going to have to polish it and then rewax to get rid of it at this point...
