Hmmm.... Not that I've found... Best option is wash off ASAP... Was the car resprayed around the late 90's, 2000's ish... 1997/2003, say?

Just a thought.

You need a good wax to protect it such as Collinite 476 or equivalent. DO NOT let it settle. Get it off as quick as possible, it can be very acidic.

If you have bird 5hit etchings, that is another subject in itself for removal instructions....

This wax will protect the car really well, but you still need to remove the bird doodoo as soon as possible.

If you haven't used a really good wax before you won't know what you are missing. It makes cleaning the car again a doddle and a few coats of collinite will give months of protection.

I don't think the respray paint or lacquer is ever as hard as the factory coat.

an air rifle would help, it might not stop it all together but it'll make you feel better

Hard to believe but kinda makes sense, since you never see a hole in the paint
