removing black streaks from a pontoon boat

[jollymon]

I am having problems cleaning the sides of my pontoon boat, not the pontoons but the fencing around the deck. It is made of painted aluminum with decals on it. It has black steearks from the rain, that I can not get off. I have tried boat soaps, car wash soaps and some house hold cleaners, but I have had no luck. Does anyone know of a way to remove these black streaks???

Call Williams Supply Company in Warsaw, Indiana. Order a bottle of cleaner called "Fastball". It takes streaks off of anything. It is the best cleaner I have ever used on my boat. Phone number is 574-268-2448. <br /><br />Just squirt it on and let it soak about 3-4 seconds then polish it off. I think a gallon sells for about $10 or $12. A little goes a long way.

Jollymon,the best way to do it is to start by using a good cleaner wax.You will need a coat of wax anyway to make removing them in the future easy,so you may as well remove them with wax.After you get the marks off you can put another coat of wax on and from there I have had good luck getting the streaks off with windex and scrubbibg bubbles bathroom cleaner.Without wax you will have the same trouble getting the future black streaks off.If you want to try the spray cleaner route try greased lightning which you can get at Walmart,just be prepared because it may clean the area too good and you will have a bright clean spot compared to the rest of the area.Make sure you finish with a wax job.Charlie
