Couple of thoughts:

1.. He may be reacting to his reflection.
Perhaps leave a largish mirror nearby, see if he reacts more to that?
(By largish I mean large enough to distract him from the car)

2.. If it's nesting material he is after, leave some stuff nearby as well.
Bits of straw, small bits of coloured cloth, bits of paper etc.

3.. don't underestimate the power of explosives!!!

Have to admit, I never even thought of this... I don't think he is taking the bits away though, not having watched exhaustively, but it could be...............

I've lived in the same house for 21 years and there's been a Discovery sat on the drive for the last 16 of them. During that entire time, not a single bird has shown the slightest interest in it.🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

Then, about 10 days ago, a local crow appears to have become absolutely obsessed with the car.
It started innocently enough. He'd sit on the wing mirrors and peck at his reflection in the glass, and then poo all down the side of the car. Fair...
