Well at least the polish will prevent the bird shit from sticking to the paint.

Err, no it won't. Polish provides no paint protection. Even wax will be eroded if the bird shit is left on for some time, then it'll attack the lacquer, then you're in a world of pain...

AG bird dropping wipes wont ruin any wax finish or sealant you have on the car, window polish may strip that.
