dropped some boat anchors from the car

my car went on an "unsprung" weight diet yesterday, by dropping a few pounds from each corner of the car. I picked up on some 6 piston calipers from TCE Performance and they are much lighter than the stock boat anchors!! WOW the steering is so much lighter now, I didnt even think about this side benefit.

I had Todd install the calipers for me and they look fantastic! I will post up pic's in the near future

As a side note, I had some bird crap on my car yesterday and after I cleaned it off, it looks like it ate through the clear coat, any suggestions to help out? I dont want to take it in to get just the clear coat replaced, has anyone had luck with some type of waxes out there?
