Presoak with warm water, qd, anything. Then rinse as much as you can off with running water, and wash normally.
Flush... Don't wipe...

There is also a fair amount of ammonia and acid in bird crap. That is why seagull guano was a key ingredient in the original black powder recipe.

buff it out with some rubbing compound and then polish it. If the scratches are too deep come down to the sherwin williams automotive finishes in richmond. I'll sell you what you need to fix it 
ill see what imma do

If its etched in the clear, which is what bird shat tends to do... you're going to have to wetsand it first with 1500-2000. Then use a rubbing compound followed by a polishing compound.
As far as the scratches, general rule of thumb...If you can feel it with your fingernail, you're not going to get it all the way out.
I just painted my S a deep black about a 2 months ago. I feel you on the bird crap because I had fresh clear on it only a day old and an arsenal of birds made ends meat of my clear. Worked my ass trying to get the etchings out.

Birds eat small stones to aid in digestion. The stones pass with the food so bird shit is actually very abrasive. You need to be very careful when you clean it up.
