Default Best way to get bird crap off paint?

So while i was away from my truck for a week some birds used it for target practice needless to say I've tried dawn dish soap plus my normal washing soap to no avail i can still see the streak from it running down the tailgate anything short of clay bar/polish to get it off?

Consider just re-buffing the clear coat.

Buy a white truck. J/k
Nothing worse than sun baked bird poop. I usually scratch it off with my finger and a towel during washing of the truck.
My neighbors trees are growing over my driveway so I constantly put up with bird poo and maple sap on my truck. The sap is worse than the poo.
Btw, I have a white truck.

Try goo-gone. I had some tar chunks on my fenders from my tires that I couldn't get off, then I tried goo gone and it came right off. Just wire it on and let it sit for a few seconds and wipe it off.

Yea it's a black truck so that doesn't help and ya tree sap is even worse if you don't take it off right away. I'll try the goo gone tonight this California sun just baked that bird **** right into the paint it's just like a ghost of a strain best way to describe it. If the goo gone don't work I'm going to just have to buy a buffer I need one anyway.
