What can be damaging to our paint?

Ok, i've read that we have soft paint, and that it can scratch easily, but I have a question a bit...different. What can say, soda, do to the paint, other than be sticky? I'll leave the story at high school antics, but would rather know the limitations.

Its not damaging, you should get it off though but its not hard to, wipe it with a rag with some car wash soap/warm water. I guess the only bad hting on paint is eggs.

try some brake fluid on your paint if you think only eggs. rocks are also bad, so is battery acid. some even say that car wash soap is bad for it. the only good thing for paint is a clearcoat and wax.

BIRD CRAP is bad if you guys didn't know. Wipe it off when you see a spot, otherwise you can end up with a spot. Them sick birds, they can never miss the car.

I think bird crap is the worst. My hood was destoyed by the previous owner. He must of left bird crap on his hood in 100 degee weather day after day. I done everything to try to save it. I have like 10 spots. I will have it repainted in the spring. So def. get that off sh## off immediately.
