Soooo what do you do when you're all waxed up and a bird decides to defecate on your pretty ride? How do you take care of that one spot?
 
Take some QD and wipe it--fast! Today with the availability of some many fine/inexpensive waterless washes, that is an even better option.

To Wors' point, the original Poorboy's bird poop remover was supposed to be a more concentrated version of Spray 'n Wipe (a waterless wash). Not sure if that is how they are describing the current version (was off the market for a while, lack of interest back then).
 
What's QD?

I wiped this particular particulate off with a paper towel since it was still wet.

Had no idea there's actually a spray specifically for this though. Hah
 
Indeed. Do I need to rewax that area? It slid right off without any cleaners.

Doesn't sound like it, if it's etched you know your LSP has been compromised, of course, if it's etched you should probably do a little more to it than just re-LSP.

SHOW your OCD pride and pull out that plush MF and QD you have in your ride then spray spot and towel liberally and "grab" it off, flipping sections of towel ---- TRYING not to wipe it in as best a possible!!!!

WITH URGENCY, it can etch in literally seconds!!

You.....you used a paper towel to wipe it off......
 
That was just a joke. It looked like berries but I doubt it tasted like them.
 
Is there something seriously wrong with a paper towel though? The poop was still wet, there was morning dew on the car, and I had just waxed it.

I couldn't fathom any major damage occurring via paper towel. Worst case, I damage the protective wax, right? Isn't that what it's there for?
 
Paper towels are considered to be abrasive. I wouldn't worry too much about it, sounds like you took care of it fine (especially if it was Bounty, LOL).
 
This is proof that they gun for ya!!

I use my Pinnacle WW with Carnuba, spray it and wipe it, turn and buff. Any ONR mixed as QD works good in that application as well.
 
The paper towel probably micromared the paint that is why a microfiber and a QD was suggested. Regardless the area will probably need a re-polish anyways since the area was probably etched. It is most important to remove it however you can as quick as you can though since you do not want it to etch more severely.

Bahahaha. I swear they sit and watch, and time their "excursions" accordingly. I believe I heard mother nature cackling the other week when she peed on my car RIGHT after I finished chamoising. Even worse, it only rained for 10 minutes. It was specifically to frustrate me, I know it.
