Default I think I'm gonna puke.......please help me! This blows.....

I'm sick to my stomach. I went away on vacation for a week and came back to a bunch of bird **** on my car. I successfully cleaned it off without scratching it, but I was too late. It baked in the 100 degree sun and now I'm F#@$%&!

I tried P21S Paint Cleanser and 3M IHG and it still looks like a$$! Looks like my clear coat was eaten into.

Is there ANY hope or am I just F'd??? If I'm SOL, how much would it cost to have it sprayed (re-painted?) I feel F'ing sick!!!!!!!!! My poor car is only 1 1/2 month old!

Default PS -- I'm leaving for week 2 of vacation tommorrow.....will the sun hurt it more?

Do I need to have this looked at before I go away??? With baking in the sun hurt it even more?

Default great suggestion..

head over to the detailing forum, those guys know MUCH more than I do. just ask around. I'm fairly sure that a buffung then a clay bar will get the stuff off. I've seen that stuff do wonders. Good luck.

Agreed, as said below, try using a clay bar. Local auto supply store will have them. Very safe.
