UPVC Windows-Bird Droppings

Just been looking at my UPVC Window sills and there are several 'stains' on these caused by I assume bird droppings. The stains are brown/green in colour
I have cleaned the sills with bleach but they do not come away and seen to have 'burned' into the white UPVC.
Any advice as to how I could remove these marks would be greatly appreciated

the thing with upvc is you must keep it clean i do mine properly 3 times a year i had them fitted 14 years ago and they still look brand new .
dont think you can remove bleach you could get cills repaired not cheap though0 -
I would lightly sand the sill or try t-cut but make sure you seal it afterwards. I think you can use car wax to seal?0

Another thing worth trying is nail varnich remover. We had some big stains on our white UPVC when we moved in here. A bit of that on some kitchen roll - now looks as good as newIt's nice to be nutty but's more important to be nice0
