Had the same issue with my 17 RX350. Had a round bird poop stain on the hood. Tried all kinds of wax it did not work. Per tip in youtube, I also used a hair dryer to remove the spot but still did not work. Found another tip to remove it by wet sanding. Was braved enough to do it using a 2000 grit sandpaper (with only light scrubbing on the clear coat), followed up by Meguiar's scratch remover (after paint became dull) and then a cleaner wax and WALAH! bird poop stain gone. All in about less than 10 minutes.:-)

That saved me a trip to a paint shop and $$$.

Good Luck!
