By Zach Bowman, Autoblog.com - A new study revealed red cars attract more bird droppings than any other colour. The research, conducted by online retailer Halfords, revealed red vehicles made up 18 per cent of cars marked by birds, while blue followed along in second place at 14 per cent. Green vehicles got off the easiest, making up just one per cent of those in the study. The sample included 1,140 cars in Brighton, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester and Bristol, though there's no indication as to the total number of each car colour in the group.The study also asked owners how quickly they removed bird droppings from their vehicle's paint. Onl one in six said they took care of the problem immediately, while more than half waited until the next car wash. Halfords says leaving the strongly alkali substance on your vehicle's paint work can lead to costly repairs. The company estimates owners spend around $89.3 million per ear in damaged paint.
