Luckily with your car, the vehicle is white and therefore doesn't absorb nearly as much heat as a darker colored car would. Never the less, acid damage doesn't discriminate and can negatively affect all vehicle finished. Keep a bottle of quick detailer in your car along with a couple quality microfiber towels (put them in a zip-lock so they don't get any other debris on them while they're waiting to be used).
It's worth pulling the car in the shade and giving affected areas a few minutes (5-10) to cool off so that any quick detail sprayed doesn't evaporate away as soon as it hits the finish.
Spray with the intention of soaking the crap so that it loosens from the paint and can be gently wiped away. After a couple of sprays, gently wipe, turn the towel, and wipe again.
There's no product to apply to simply remove etching damage. The nature of etching damage is a permanent damage to the affected paint. Hopefully you can prevent the damage from going too deep however, so that with polishing the damage can be safely removed from your finish.

Would a clear bra protect the paint or can the bird dropping "burn" through it as well? I have a clear bra on my CF roof as well as the hood and was wondering about this...
