Bird deposit - lacquer effected

[MrTickle]

I am sure this must have been mentioned before, but search didn't yield anything specific.

I am after some advice. I had a rather large deposit from a bird (flying type!) on my front bumper. Following cleaning the car, the lacquer underneath is no longer totally smooth and you can see the effect in the light.

I have tried paint cleaner, t-cut and polish to zero effect. My next line would be some hard buffing in the heat (if we ever get any) but I was wondering if anyone has any better ideas?

If it has eaten into the clear coat, paint cleaner or buffing won't help, you will need a polish, but if it has gone through the clear coat it will need a trip to the body shop.

Thanks for that, I don't think it has gone through so I will try getting it polished first.

Daughter has a metallic black SEAT Ibiza and that had a huge splodge across the bonnet which left a faded area. T-Cut didn't seem to make an impression, but Autoglym Paint Renovator got rid of it easily.

Compared to T-Cut, the AutoGlym stuff felt much more aggressive though, and was a bit scary to use. I'd be wary of rubbing too hard on edges etc.
