Zaino doesn't "fix" bad paint. Bird droppings need to be removed ASAP to keep it from etching into the paint. Once it does it would need to be repaired. However, with a few coats of Zaino you'll have the best protection you can find for bird "stuff". Not a single bird etching on my past 2 cars thanks to Zaino.

Try using your clay bar on it. It should remove most of the surface contamination. What remains, if anything, will be damaged paint that will require from least to worst:
1) Hand rub or machine buff with a mild compound.
2) Wet sand with 1500-2000 followed by step one.
3) Re paint.

Paint is porous and can absorb contaminants. Bird droppings are very acidic and can slowly or quickly work their way into the paint. Take care of them ASAP to minimize the damage. The longer even the slightest bit stays on the paint, especially in the heat, the faster the damage will occur.
