With it being base and laquer it depends if the sh*t has burn't through. Best thing to do is get someone to machine polish the affected area's and cut it back with some compound like G3. Could even flat it back abit with some 2000 wet n dry if that doesnt work, then buff it back up (depending how much paint is on the panel). I'll have a look if your out in it tonight

I've had this that I haven't been able to hand polish out, but seems to go after a while.
Keeping the car well sealed is all you can do, but even then it can mark the paint after just a few hours

Car cover will end up scratching it to pieces though unfortunately
Plenty of wax, and a squirt of quick detailer and removal as soon as you spot it is best bet really.

Not sure if it will help, but we have a similar issue here at BMW, Where we store our cars seems to be a magnet for bird shit.

If it is in an isolated area, and not all over the car, what our head valeter does, is get a heat gun, and from a distance, runs the gun over the affected spot a few time, lets it cool, polishes it, the repeats, the heats helps soften the paint, and then the polish will help flatten it.
