Try a polish from megiuars along with their deep crystal paint cleaner. I have had problems with poopoo myself in the past. I have always had white cars and I think birds flying over think it is the shietter or something. Anyhow, don't scrub, polish them away.

HAHAHAHA That is sick. You ronot going to be able to get those scratches out by hand. You will have to use a high speed polisher and some compound or maybe even wet sand the scratches and then polish them out. You might want to bring it to a professional to do it, because if you do it your self and you arent sure what you are doing, you will only cause more damage.
