I got a couple spots on my trunk where i let some bird crap sit too long. Now i have these dull spots where it ate through the clear. I tried some Poorboys polishing agents by hand with no luck. Am i out of luck? Anything i can do by hand?
have you tired clay bar the area? try some heavier polish and see if that would work.. What are you using to apply the polish and how many passes?
Havn't tried a clar bar yet. The whole car needs a good claying ASAP. I tried some Poor boys super swirl remover 1.0 and 2.5. Seemed to make it a little less noticable, but still there. This was done by hand with a microfiber, so i just rubbed back and forth 15-20 times with each polish.
But how would a clay bar help exactly? Thanks for your time.
clay bar cuts as well as removing surface contaminant, which helps in removing the mark... keep in mind if it has been there for too long, it CAN eat through the clear. If it's too deep, you might have to wet sand. If you cut through the clear, well, you'll need to re-clear...

I see them as well... You can pick it up from me or your local retailers.
