Theres a thing on the internet somewhere about a 101 uses for WD40, and one of them was for removing Bird Poo.

If it has started to eat into the paint and the surface is pitted then no.

My CLK came new with several bird lime marks, still chasing the dealer to make a note of them in case problems develop in the future.

After lots of soap and hot water, it's a good first attempt - but if the paint is damaged you'll need a paint renovator - start with the finest one (AG Bodyshop 02b 2000 grit plus water is one, there are plenty of others!).
If you're parking in seagull territory it's worth giving the car a good clean and clay, then a really good waxing so any souvenirs wash off easily.
Good luck!

Autoglym have only just launched a spot-on product (geddit?):

Autoglym - car cleaning products, car care products, car valeting, car detailing

Using a protective sealant on top of the polish, such as Autoglym's Extra Gloss Protection, will help too.

Wonder if these are similar to baby bum wipes? Bet they are, but twice the price!!

Clay bar for certain.

It even removes insect poop that WD40 and Baby Wipes wouldn't even smudge.
