Had exactly the same problem.

Autoglym Fabric Hood Cleaner sorted it out perfectly. The cleaner completely removed any trace of the bird deposit and the water proofer works very well as well.

Couldn't have been more pleased with the results.

A power washer used carefully is quite effective at bring a roof back. Don't keep it in one spot for long, keep it moving from a suitable distance. Should get rid of the poo . The treat the roof with tent canvass proofing soltion, forgotten the name of the stuff but sold my most caravan shops. Water just stands off the roof in blobs after treatment.

The Renovo colour restorer/reviver product is also worth a mention. The black is excellent. Not tried other colours myself.

Thompson's Waterseal.

Same results as Fabsil but at a much lower price.

B&Q stock it.

OK, I've resisted this all morning .... can't resist it any longer!

If your bird craps on your roof, it must be time to trade her in for a better behaved one biggrin
