My father has just bought a new car which the birds love to poo on. Although he can remove the poo quite easily it still leaves the ring where the poo has been, even Auto Glym resin polish doesn't remove the outline. Can anyone help please
Ho-hum..
The resin polish is to polish the car, not remove dirt. A bit of T-Cut lightly used will do the job or Autoglym do a tar and gum remover.
To add to Conor's comments..
Maguire's do a 3 step "paint cleaner" "polish" and "sealant" that will do the job..
if its metallic, be careful with T-cut as if your a bit too heavy handed with it on metallic paint you can damage it more, there is a "metallic safe" T-cut.. etc..

If you leave it long enough the bird poo eats into the paintwork meaning the shine or whatever isn't there anymore as it's been eaten.
What he said. You can polish them out, but you may need some G3 and a buffing machine. Or a man who knows.
If the bird muck is eating into the paint particularly quickly, I'd consider taking the car to the garage and complaining.

Since when have dealers had any control over the chemical composition of bird poo?
If the paint is damaged by bird muck in between reasonably regular washes, it must be pretty poor.
It depends what's in the bird muck.

In the autumn around here, usually half a ton of blackberries. Looks grim on a silver car!
All the same, paint should be capable of coping withstanding a "deposit" that it could reasonably be expected to come into contact with it...
That's a bit pays your money & realises you didn'y get a choice thoug , bird poo can get nearly as alkaline as paint stripper
I use my cars every day. They usually get washed once a week, but when I get home I've generally noticed if there's a poo on it or not, and use a damp cloth to remove the offending marks if it's not raining.
I do this because a few years ago I went on holiday and when I got back home there were a number of bird poo marks on it, and wiping them off also showed how much damage had been done to the 'gloss' surface of the paintwork.
Over time every car is going to get splatted a number of times, so keeping the paintwork damage to a minimum is always a good option.
