Ford V Bird Poop is the Ford V Ferrari sequel we need.

With many of us spending more time than ever at home due to the coronavirus, it also means our cars are parked more than usual, too. That makes them prime targets for bird bombings that could spell disaster for your car’s paint. But what we think of bird poop – the milky white substance – isn’t just poop. The white is uric acid, the avian equivalent of urine, and it’s that acid that can ruin the paint. Thankfully, automakers do their best to protect their paint with Ford going as far as to create artificial bird poop for its intensive paint tests.
