A few weeks ago my wife informs me of a mystery substance on the hood and driver side quarter panel of her 2008 BMW. Due to poor weather and too much work, I paid no attention to it until yesterday when I washed her car. There were about 10 white spots across the hood and a few on the panel, which appeared to be maybe bird droppings from a high angle (more like a spray than a pile). I washed the car and it didn't remove it. So today I got a little aggressive and tried wiping with detail spray and microfiber,nothing. Denatured alcohol,nothing. Acetone,nothing. Clay bar,nothing. Paint finishing polish,started to notice a slight improvement. Went to paint correcting polish with orange pad, after about two passes it came up. So I hit both areas with a few passes of correcting polish and finishing polish. Then quick sealant and brilliant glaze and two coats of Americana (face melting combo). Looks good now.
