repairing damage to laquer

[ph911]

so a bird dropping, which I managed to remove a few hours after landing, managed cause to serious swirl marks when I dampened it and removed it with a large soft tissue.

Happy to accept that my removal method may have been far from perfect!

Is there anything which is like a (semi-) permanent coating which can 'fill' in these marks? I dont want to polish out as its a 12 year old car and would rather add layers rather than remove!

Thanks!

Good quality picture please.
It's either etched the paint, or has grit in it, which you've rubbed over the paint, causing the swirls (minor scratches).
Don't worry too much about removing the high paint around them, it'll only be a micron or two, in all likelihood, so even with 12 yo paint, you're not going to see primer just yet.

If you just want to mask it, then Bilt Hamber Auto-balm will do that, and protect the paint for a good while between reapplications.

Baby wipes are the only job for moving bird dirt! Wipes away like its only water..

Not just good for your baby's ass!

If you want to damage your paint further then go ahead.
