Little black spots on Monty?

I have tiny black spots on one side of my Monty and cannot seem to get them off with washing and waxing. They are probably insect residue (poop) and I can get the raised part off, but each spec leaves a small spot or ring. What is the best way to get them off without ruining the fiberglass?
Thanks
James, Jan and Zoe Lee

I use a wet bounce dryer sheet on mine. If that doesn't do it try a little "Awesome", but rinse it quickly...

I think they are spores of artillary fungus. We got them on our other house. They look like bug doo-doo but are really on there and hard to remove. You might try a cleaner with a Mr. Clean eraser. Don`t rub too hard with the eraser as they can leave scratches on the finish.

I agree with Greener. It comes from being within 20 feet of mulch. A Professor at Penn. State has been studying this for about 10 years and says there is no chemical that he has fund that will remove the brown stains. Google the topic and check out the PS research. We are in the process of removing all the multch around our stick house. Good luck
