Trying to clean up the outside of my boat real good. There is a tanning line from the boat sitting in freshwater in south florida. I was wondering if anyone has used or know of a good buffing compound, or bleach of some sort that has good success at possibly removing this? I've tried Bleche White, and pool chlorine. It didn't do much. I also tried wet sand paper a little, and it faded it lightly. Any suggestions?

Starbrite Rust Stain Remover

Spray it on and keep it wet by working your way back and forth from front to back. The stain will practically disappear.

Also get some rubber gloves, Whink can work on the hands with extended use and you sound like that is what you will have. Whink works the same as the Starbrite instructions, put it on, keep it wet by working it, may take several applications, rinse well between and after applications.
