Ive had bat p00 on the paint of my beloved Vl calais... Washed it today with heavy duty car washing thinking it would get the bat **** off, it didnt!. Its like the suss **** has sunk into the paint.... Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get rid of it Thanks!

Don't mess with bat poo. aka Guano, the sh#t can kill you if you inhale enough of it , so guess what it can do to your paint then

Get a very soapy sponge and sit it on there for 5min... Instead of wiping it off try to dab it on and off while squeezing the sponge slightly. Then let it sit for a little while longer and then try dap it off and give it a good hose... See what happens there...

I'm forever having problems with bat **** on my wagon. You have to clean it off the day it goes on, otherwise it starts to eat into the clear, then eventually it peels off the paint in a nice neat little poo-shaped patch.

With anything prevention is the best cure, next time you see it clean it off straight away! All you can do now is give the area a bit of a cut and polish to try and make it look a bit better, try some of the meguires product range. Once the clearcoat is penetrated down to the colour then respray is the only hope.

As stated above best thing would be to get to it with some cutters and abit of polish.. Another thing you could possibly try is Prepsol

Prepsol/White sprits should get it off. Then go over it with your polish mate.

If there is any poop left, use a claybar.. If it has etched into your clear it will need wetsanding.
