Birds dropping acid bombs

[StangTime]

It was a gorgeous day yesterday to drive the Mustang to work. Parked it in my usual isolated spot and returned 8 hours later to find a few blueberry bird shit splats on my hood. No biggie, was planning to wash the car after work anyway. After washing it off I noticed a residual haze like a water mark left on the PPF film. I tried quick detailer spray but it wasn't doing anything to restore the full luster. It's only visible when the light hits it. So 8 hours is all it takes for bird shit to leave a permanent mark? That's insane. WTF are those birds eating?
Any ideas to restore the PPF film? I haven't tried anything other than a hybrid wax spray. Maybe leaving it in the sun will cure the film?

Thought I would try warming up the PPF film as that's what you do to heal it. Well it worked! I gradually warmed up the area with some careful heat gun work. This PPF film is amazing stuff!

I don't want to.
I'm thinking the whole damn car should be covered in PPF. But the cost...

You can also ceramic coat the PPF to protect it from bird droppings. My hood was bombed a few weeks ago and it dried on the hood. The droppings just flaked right off, no mark on the PPF at all.
