How do I remove bird sh1t from the canvas of my camper?

I have removed the chunky bits, I am now left with the remaining white stains.

I've recently had the same issue.

A couple of months ago I resorted to warm soapy water to get rid of the hard crusty stuff. Then I used bleach to get rid of the stains, but they say you shouldn't do this as it weakens the vinyl. I then washed this off with water. After that I used a vinyl cleaner and conditioner such as Maguire's or Bowden's which then protects the vinyl from UV etc.

Had to do the same again this past Saturday after our return from the Gold Coast, but this time didn't resort to bleach.

Still looking for some product that protects the vinyl from future stains, but so far have drawn a blank.

I do use a fibreglass wax on the side and roof of my Jayco Swan....and that made washing the bird crap off easy...not sure what it would do if applied to vinyl ?

Cheers

Best probably not to invite Bird  over to your camp or feed him stuff that makes him poop or give him too much beer, [ Bloody Victorians, cant handle the grog ]  .
I know we all like to use our own thunderboxes and dont realy like to share And I do agree its poor form to crap so close to the camper and get Shite on the canvas .
If you must invite him, maybe offer him a bog roll and a shovel and point him out into the scrub a bit .Either that or suggest he bring his own thunderbox .. ;D ;D ;D

Sorry Bird ..LOL roll eyes and whistle .. ;D ;D

Yup, give it a good soak, leave it out in the rain, then when wet, wipe with baby wipes. Don't try and do it with dry canvas. Wipe the surface don't rub/scrub, if it doesn't come off wet the canvas more.
