Same thing happened to me. Brand new base model in black. I washed it off within a few hours and it definitely screwed up the paint. I ended up having to clay bar and then polish it out. A week later, on my drive to work, i got hit by another bird and then I immediately washed it off as soon as i got to the office. Same thing, it already got through the clear. I've noticed that the paint on this car is VERY soft. It really sucks IMO that it can't even stand up to 30 minutes of bird crap. I've since put on a coat of Meguiar's NXT 2.0 wax to protect it, but i can't comment on how well it works against bird crap cuz i haven't gotten any on it since i put the wax on.
Another rant about the paint on this car: at least on the black, there is a TON of orange peeling.
I don't think Nissan did a good job on the paint with this car.
