The car was parked up for a week and appears to have been used as target practice. I've given it a good wash, after soaking in snow foam, and I've still got these hazy marks in the paint.
I've no arsenal of detailing kit, best I think I can muster is some tar remover and Zymol cleaner wax.
Ideas?

The only way you'll get them out is with a machine polish. I'm sure nath will follow up with pro advice.

Bah, I've been meaning to send it down to him, so may be the time.

if the bird poo has been left to long it can burn into the laquer..A machine polish normally gets rid of it

T-cut color fast. Nothing I had would touch it and last resort was t-cut. Lifted it right out perfectly and mine was really bad.

Hopefully you have done enough by getting it off as soon as you could. Hopefully it hasn't burnt into the laquer, but could still be saved even if it has! :happy2:

Too late for the OP in this instance but that is some good stuff to keep in the boot, smells nice and minty too. Just spray it on and watch the chunks of bird poo slide down the car off the paintwork lol. :sick: :grin:

Depending on how bad it is iv seen really good results by using heat. I work in a new car dealer where our 'new' cars could have been in storage (a field) for months before being called over to go in the showroom. Most come with a few bird presents on them. Once cleaned the valet crew get a heat gun and slowly heat the area and most of the marks/haze/damage (as long as not burnt through clear coat) literally lifts out. Amazing to watch! Then they compound out anything that remains and apply wax. Even under showroom lights the area is just about perfect. Obviously the danger is you get the paint too hot so be careful
