zaino doesnt sell waxes, only synthetic polishes. The polishes are easier to apply and remove and look better after using them. The polishes are also semi-permanent: they will not wash off every time you wash your car. You only need to add new coats every few months.

So should I wax my car as well with another brand or only polish it? I'm 26 and this is my first "nice" car and I never had a father to teach me this stuff. So I want to make sure that I keep the paint job looking great.

You can try taking off the stains with the zaino's z2 or z5, if that doesn't work then you may have to use something like a cleaner wax, (mcguires or something similair). Don't use anything with abrasives first. Save that as a last resort. The abrasive polishes will leave swirl marks.

Buddy,

You're SOL. I'm sorry, but it's true. Bird droppings are off the PH charts in acidity. They will permanently discolor your paint if left to bake on your paint in the sun.

Try cleaner wax (Griot's Garage) and rewax. Depending on the discoloration, I will give it 25% odds at best.

I'm really sorry for the bad news. If you do fix this, please let us know what worked.
