Old bird dropping stain

Ok, I know, I had to notice it right away. But it was during the winter under a lot of salt; when I noticed it first time it was too late - large, well visible stain. Since then I tried to remove it by claying, AIO (zaino), with no success whatsoever.

What can I do? Sanding isn't an option.

Try Meguiar's Quik Detailer. It is only $6.00 and it works amazingly well.

Polish it. If you don't want to machine polish, use Scratch-X by hand.

I have a bird dropping spot on my car as well and have tried a number of things, none working.

Men quick detailer, clay, scratch x, rubbing compound, polishing compound, mothers pre wax cleaner.

Any other suggestions? Because if yours is as bad as mine is then we are in the same boat =(

Sounds like you're going to need a machine with some mildly aggressive polish to get that off.
Scratch X may need more time to break down by hand than you're giving it.
Do you have a PC?
