Hi All, Does anyone have a solution, remedy, concoction, what ever, that is a simple solution to removing bird poo from the top of your boat , something that doesnt hurt the gel coat but at least softens the stuff so it can be washed off??
Hope you all have a fantastic EASTER ans safe sailling.
Wet the poo, let soak for ten then hit with a small high preasure cleaner. We have a real bird problem and need to clean the boat 2 to 3 times a week. We also keep the smooth gelcoat well polished, this helps from staining. I try not to use chemical cleaners as these seam to knock the polish about.
As above, wet it, keep it wet for ten minutes then scrub it with a piece of old, or new if you have some, carpet. A piece about eight by four folded in half. Use the pile side not the hessian bit. Also the best way to get bugs off've your car. Cheers John

Only thing Id add is dishwashing liquid as it slows the drying process.
Hi Guys, Thanks for some great feed back, i wish i could sail a lot more often to reduce the oppertunity of the birds to find a good place to ****, but some of us still have to work (unfortunatly) but thanks for the good info, happy sailing
comment Keith, meaning if you use the boat the birds don't get to crap on it. N'est–ce pas?
