What can I use to get the hull white again? I think it's stains cuz the discoloration has strange patterns in it, not just as it she sat in water too long??

Wrong forum for this question. Go to marine supply store, they have tons of cleaning products that will work great. Also, toilet bowl cleaner works good on fiberglass hull and it also smells better than marine grade stuff. Make sure you use gloves, some of that stuff is highly corrosive ad will irritate or burn your skin if exposed.

Oh god yes. I thought I was going to die when I did my hull. Stuff works great tho. Oh, and I did try toilet bowl cleaner, and "Lime Away" without much success. But the boat cleaner worked great....better wear a respirator, tho...You WILL need it.

Walmart has a product made by Alcort and another brand name called Hull Cleaner. It takes the brown stain off with no sweat. Make sure you spray water on your trailer before using as it will spot gavanized trailers.

Sorry GrindKore. I'll make sure I use the correct forum for my questions. Please, don't make me wake the plank. Toilet bowl cleaner did the trick. After I got it cleaned I realized after going out the next weekend, it's the lake water leaving it stained.

go to your local dollar store,,buy a bottle of "the works",,wipe on wait 15 seconds, wipe off then hose off thouroughly.
were gloves and eye protection

your hull will sparkle like a new toilet boll,,,:D
I just did mine works great,,don't waste your money on the overpriced "boat" snake oil they sell
