I had bird poop etching as I left it to sit for longer than it should have done.

However, I was able to remove it succesfully:

1. Wash and dry car
2. Clay bar the area
3. Menzerna Polish (SIP) with random orbital polisher - only 3-4 mins was needed.
4. Menzerna Hi gloss to bring back the shine - 2-3 mins again with Random orbital
5. Swissvax cleaner fluid
6. Swissvax Concorso

Obviously choice of polish and wax is matter of personal preference but I would highly recommend the Menzerna range. Using the Random orbital machine will also be the safest option when machine polishing.
