Ford Bird Poop Test for Paint Jobs
When do we know for a fact that science has gone to far? Probably when it’s used to develop artificial bird droppings. Lab-developed synthetic bird poop isn’t just a reality; Ford is using it as a way to test the resilience of paint on its vehicles.
Ford tests its vehicles using a synthetically engineered bird poop spray. Yes, really. The spray is administered to sample panels that are then heated between 100 and 140 degrees. This allows Ford to see how their vehicles will hold up to the double threat of extreme heat and extreme bird crap.
