Default 2009 370z bad paint job???



I own a 2009 black 370z with the sport package, and up until recently I've been washing her every 3 days just to keep the black shiny. Well not too long ago I noticed a large bird dropping right next to the passenger door handle. It wasn't there the night before, and so I wiped it off. Low and behold, the clear coat was completely eaten away, only a dull, grey/black mark remained where the droppings were. This bothered me! Who wants to see a huge bird crap imprint while stepping into the passenger seat?

Turns out there's more than one bird out there.

Never on for more than a day, and sometimes an hour, EVERY single bird dropping is ruining my car one by one! Never has this happened to any other vehicle I've owned in the past! Theres a huge spot right above the "Z" symbol where the front side skirts curve into the hood, one on the roof, a larger one on the hood, and one on my rear spoiler.

I've gone from cleaning this car and keeping it beautiful at least twice to 3 times a week to just losing hope all together. Black is hard to keep clean, but I like clean my cars because it's relaxing, so I didn't mind purchasing the Z in black because it's very beautiful when it's clean. But if its full of permanent sh*t marks what does it matter anyway! If bird crap can do that much damage to the paint in an hour, what is the car going to look like in a year? or dare I say 3 years?

I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced this problem, because at this point its either don't buy a 370z or hope to God you don't live around birds. I'm hoping that this is some sort of paint defect. I need not mention the growing number of buff swirls/scratches/crap.
