Default Mustard tree stain on seat, Help

I have a tree near my dock that drops a small thin droping that sticks to my interior white seat, when i scrape it off it leaves a yellow stain, i was told its a mustard tree stain. **** i cant get the stain out with anything, i tried alot of cleaners, rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, soap cleaner. Today ii was fgoing to try and bleach it out witha touch of bleach. Its a few very small spots but if i leave my boat uncovered at all by end of summer i will have 50 spots! Can cut trees down on neighbors property and kinda stuck with it. Only thing i can do is find something to remove stain or keep boat covered when in not in it. HELP...

If all that didn't take it off, time in direct sunlight is the only other thing. It will eventually fade away.

Well a full day in the sun took the 2 lighter one out, and the otherone is halfway gone, wow cant believe it, i tried everything. Looks like cleaning and sun may be the ticket. Keeping my fingers crossed

Your screwed for now. My friend had the same thing happen. It was all over his boat. He soaked small pieces of towel in bleach and set it on the spots. After letting sit for a 30min he removed and treated the seat with 303. He did this several times and it really helped. I just saw the boat this weekend and the spots are nolonger visible. I feel it was a combo of his technique and the sun. Before this he tried everything!!!!
