Blackberry bird droppings(kaka) on the Monty

Here in the park where we live are a lot of blackeberries. Along with the blackberries are a lot of cute little finches and sparrows that love the Bberries. When the little cuties get their little tummies full of Bberries they have to empty them! They choose to empty them on my truck, on the Monty and any other horizontal surface that their little bombsights can find
I tried soap and water, Awesome, bleach, Kabam stuff, nothing worked. In pure desperation I got out some hydrogen peroxide, TOOK THE BLUES AWAY LIKE CRAZYIt only requires a small amount on a wet sponge and small swirling motions. works great and doesn't harm the Monty.

Hydrogen Peroxide is really a form of oxygen bleach and is the only chemical (oxygen bleach)that will actually remove stains.
Sodium Hypochloride (bleach @5 1/4% concentration) the type you get in the store, will only hide a stain, and it(the stain) will evetually come back.

This is getting filed in my 'just in case' file. Thanks for posting it.

See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!

We had the poop of robins full of wild cheeries. However it did wash off. Thanks for the hope never to use tip.

What a great tip that is. I didn't think there was any way to remove those stains. We have many bushes around here and in late summer and early fall those berries ripen and ferment and we have drunk birds flopping all over the place. It can be funny but those droppings can be awful. Thanks for that tip.
