Bird Crap
A bird got me with a direct hit yesterday. 
I used some paper towels and clean water to wash it off. However, it left some light swirl marks in my brilliant black paint.
What cleaning products do you guys recommend for bird crap - and other minor touch up jobs?

NEVER EVER use paper toweling, no matter how wet you get it. There are wood fibers in the towels that can scratch.
Instead use a synthetic chamois, that you can wet, and gently ( I SAID GENTLY!!!) using light strokes, get off the crusty part, then the residue that's left behind, with a clean section THEN, use some detailer like Meguiar's to get to the acid that's left behind.
Bird crap is as corrosive as Coke. You got to get that sh** off as quickly as possible before the paint is etched.

Does anyone recommend any similar products or quick spray on / wipe off wax?
I would like to order something asap.

I use Griots Spray-On wax after I wash the car. Love the stuff. However, any spray-on waxes are only good for week to week application. They are not a replacement for a full wax that will protect the car for the long run

Another thing I like about this wax is it's totally devoid of any oil based ingredients like naptha or kerosene which is to be avoided on paint protection film like my Xpel Ultimate.
