Default Jatropha stains on house

Help! The former owner of my home planted Jatropha (shiny green leaves, clusters of little red flowers, grows tall, blooms year round) on eirther side of the garage door. When my landscape guy trimmed them waaay down, the stains from the bush are really obvious (reddish brown, like blood, almost) on the siding and trim. Google will tell you that the stains are hard to remove, but offers no suggestion. I cannot find any solvent that will remove them. Gasoline won't work, nor will bleach or mineral spirits. Has anyone had any success removing Jatropha stains? I see lots of it planted, so someone else must have this issue too.
