Not sure if its the same situation, but I had a polish that was a pink tint to it. Since my deck is gel (more porous than paint), it left a pink mark so I stopped using it. It went away after a few washes and waxes with non dyed compound.

Most likely there was a repair made in the white gelcoat at some point in time. If there was not enough UV inhibitor added in the repaired area gelcoat, it will yellow under the ultraviolet rays from the sun over time. You can try to lightly wet sand and compound the area to see if you can get the white back. Bill
