For bird crap on gelcoat - we get starlings, geese, ducks and even
herons - I use a supermarket product called "Fantastik". You wash off
the blob, spray Fantastic on, rub as required and hose it off. Also
"Tilex" works, but I prefer Fantastic.

Seems bird crap is as much a part of sailing as cold beer.

Then, there's the whole subject of spider crap...

OK, I've got a tarp I'm going to be removing from my boat and I know
there is that horrible dark red/black bird crap waiting for me.

What's the best stuff to clean it up with? Also, I would really
like
my boat to look good this year, anything recommended for gelcoat?
(it's
only a 1999, so the gelcoat should be in decent shape once I clean it
and treat it).
