birdshiit stains in clearcoat

I had a brainfart the other night and left my car out of the garage all night and the next morning I was running late and ran out of the house, jumped in my work truck and whent to work. when I came home that night, It looked like it was going to rain so I pulled it into the garage and went right in the house. When I went back out later to install the engine damper the had showed up I saw that sometime during it's stay outside a effing bird **** on my hood. I cleaned it off right away but it looks like it has burned into the clearcoat. I tried scratchX and polish cleaner but it's still there. Does anyone know how I can get or if I can get this off?

You said you tried ScratchX...how many passes did you make with it? To effectively remove the etching form BP, it could take several passes with ScratchX to make some improvement on the paint.
