Paint correction to get it back to its best. Then have it ceramic coated to give it the protection.

Keep some rinseless wash like ONR in a bottle so that you can quickly remove any droppings as soon as you see them to stop them burning into the paint.

Noooo, don't use washing up liquid, it will strip the paint of any protection you may have put on it.

Get a rinseless wash and mix some up into a spray bottle and use that. Something like Optimum No Rinse (ONR) where a bottle is under £10 and will last you a while. It is actually a good product to use to do your regular full wash as well.

The other option in the short term is to get some ceramic sealant spray. Give it a good clean with some fall out / citric wash to get it as clean as possible, then spray on the sealant to give it some protection over the paint.

I'd also look at putting some bird guard spikes in the guttering to stop the pigeons sitting there in the first place.

thanks pal for help and kind advise are you a car valeter m8,my a3 in profile photo is now scatched all over top coat its faded buddy that dam pigeon poo my mrs just says use fairly liqiud to get poo off and clean car with arr shes clueless like me made is worse m8 ,haha ,cheers pal ..
 
No, not a valeter but do try to look after my cars. Did a machine polish and ceramic coating to mine when I got it and try to keep it clean and well looked after. I tend to keep cars for a while (7 years last one) so worth putting the effort in.

Doing a paint correction yourself is not too hard if you are happy to accept it being 80% as good as a valeter will do. Will cost 2/3rds of a valet cost for buying everything, but one you have it all you can then save a fortune going forwards.
