spot clean w/ zaino?

so i've got $$$ worth of zaino products i can't wait to lavish on my several-weeks-old mcc, but i can't seem to wrangle a good chunk of a day out of my schedule to do this. so in the meantime, do i already have something in my arsenal that's good to use on a from-the-factory finish to get off bird poop and other stray bits and things? i've got the show car kit (the cheaper one). anything in there appropriate, or do i need another product for this?

i haven't yet done anything so if the car comes from the factory waxed that's still on there...but i don't know if this is the case or if it matters, but want to be sure i'm not misapplying.

can't wait for a free weekend day to do the full on zaino treatment! but until then...my best bet (hopefully w/o spending further $$$)?

thanks!

cheers,
diana

Yes. Use the Z-6. The sooner you get the bird poop off the better.

Z-6 is what I used. I've been told you got about 3 hours till the bugs and bird poop start eating away at your finish

Sometimes not even that much time. I recently removed STILL WET bird droppings off my black roof and it left marks that had to be buffed out!
