I've recently encountered a horrible deck stain issue... Black berry bird poo... at least that's what it seems to be... This place is loaded with blackbirds and they just love hanging out in the rigging leaving their unwanted deliveries all over the place.... I've got a boom tent up on the main over the coach house and keep the cockpit covered quite often as well but still these pests continue to somehow get through my defences... next step is a plastic owl in the rigging... maybe that will keep them off... Even if it does though I have yet to find a good stain remover for these horrible purple stains, soap does nothing, comet does nothing, rust stain remover turns the stain pink and eventually gets it out but is also leaching the color out of my nonskid leaving bright white spots all over the off-white nonskid... and it's even worse when it's not on the nonskid... it doesn't come out of the gel coat even with rust stain remover... I've taken to using 1200grit wet sand paper to buff the stains out... and I thought red wine vomit stain was hard to get out.

Anyone else ever encounter this stain? any suggestions?
