I'm sorry, you can't fix that.

In my opinion, those are not fixable. They are too deep and the paint is cracked. If you do not have a paint thickness gauge, and you have already compounded, let it go. Sorry

And yes, I think it is from bird crap.

Crow’s feet. Best way to fix it without spending too much money is to not look at it.

Hello,
I have a 2013 Black Honda pilot with the following paint defects. Not sure if they are etchings from bird droppings, etc. I tried compounding and polishing with no success. Is the next step to try and wet sand them out, then follow with M105 and M205, and then a sealant and wax? Any input is appreciated.

Thank you

These etchings look like they went through all the paint, right to the bare metal. If you try to wetsand this, you'll only cause even more of the paint and clear coat to break and peel off, and you will not be able to improve on this. If it wasn't a black car and if the defect was small enough (a few millimeters max), you could possibly try to touch it up with paint, but as it is, that doesn't seem to be a viable option either.

They’re not through to bare metal, the crazed clear coat just makes it look like that. They are deep though.
