To your point about a heat source temporarily softening clear coat-paint (CC):
Do you believe this holds true when buffing paint...i.e.
Will a compound's/polish's solvents also penetrate heated-up, (and thusly softened), CC-paint?
What adverse affects, if any, will be done to the BC/CC-paint system, as an entity?
Will the BC/CC-paints, at some point in time...given enough softening through buffing and solvent absorption...look like the ravaged results from bird poop, such as you have so depicted?
Just some things I was wondering about.

As it is often impractical to get dropping off ASAP, perhaps the message should be "cover your car if you intend to leave it outdoor extended periods of time." Not that that is particularly practical either.

I find PBw bird #### remover and a microfibre cloth in the car really helps and not parking near trees if possible

I just looked at Poorboy's site. For this product it says, "BUY NOW - ONLY AVAILABLE FOR ONE YEAR." What's up with that?!
The assigned parking spaces in front of my townhouse are under a dang tree. My Element was being bombed by birds and pollen fallout like crazy. I resorted to parking along the curb down the street, which is also a pain, but at least no bird droppings to ruin my car's paint.

Best thing I ever used to lift tree sap was a spray can of wd40 and a microfibre cloth.
My new house has beech hedges and cherry blossoms and my neighbour has pine trees.
So we get bird sh!t and tree sap as well as cherry blossom flowers all over the cars.
On the positive I am planning build a 2 car garage with a work room above it
