Bird Sh*t problem!!!! HELP!!!

Bird Poo is like Alien Acid. It's almost like natural brake fluid, will eat through clear coat easily. Around here it's yellow bird poo that is common and it lookd horrible on pearl white.

I live in eastern VA and can tell you that I have been fighting bird crap paint damage since getting the car in April (mine is red). It doesn't matter if you have a good coat of wax (I use NXT) after a complete clay bar and polish with Meguires Ultimate Compound. On a cool day just last week, got targeted by a seagull on the *** end and came home cleaned it off with soap and water. Figured that would do it....no luck. Got the NXT out....still no luck....got the Ultimate Compound which has been the only thing that seems to work after about 5 min of polishing.

In comparison, in May we received our new BMW 3 that we ordered, and got it the day after it was delievered to the dealer. After the first week we had a similar problem with the paint due to a bird crap, but since then it seems as if the clear coat has hardened and bird crap doesn't bother the finish on the BMW anymore...

I don't get why we are all having problems with what appears to be soft clearcoat.

Does it make sense to have a body shop shoot a high quality coat of clearcoat over the whole car to help remedy this situation?

I love this car and have waited many years to be able to buy this bad *** car, but so far my only complaint is the poor paint finish and toughness of it.

I will continue to use the Ultimate Compound and NXT, but just doesn't seem right.
