That's why it scratched. Those things feel like cardboard. Use a Porter cable to buff it out.

Presoak with warm water, qd, anything. Then rinse as much as you can off with running water, and wash normally.
Yup. I wet a paper towel, soaking wet...then lay it on the bird poop for 5 min till it softens it. Then rinse with water, no rubbing! Once all the large pieces are gone you can lightly wipe with another wet rag and then dry. I usually use some spray detailer (quick wax) to hit the area again just to be sure that it doesn't discolor.

Yeah, you can bring it to me.
Can you repair some rock chips in my front bumper?

Unfortunately no. I really need to one up my detailing skills. Wetsanding, chip-repair, clearbra and tinting are all things I'll add to my services...eventually.

You can try that Langka stuff though, I heard it works pretty well.
