    How long it takes for bird poo to eat up the paint ?

    Does anyone have any idea ? It might depend on the bird too right ? Let's say e Seagul poo would be more corrosive than others ?

    Thanks

    Speaking of nano...(Since the mid to late 1950's...):

    Sometimes bird poo may well start its destructive journey to the depths of a vehicle's paint system(s) within a few nano-seconds (few billionths of a second).

    Best to attend to a vehicle's: Bird defecation deposition display, deploying due diligence, IMHO.

    Depends on what the bird ate that day, and the weather conditions (Is it bright and sunny? Rainy? Nightime?). I've had it etch in as quick as fifteen minutes though. I was in line to enter our office parking space, and when I was able to park and got out of the car fifteen minutes later, I saw bird poop that had already begun to etch. It wasn't there when I initially got in line fifteen minutes earlier.
