Re: how to remove rust stains from vinyl?
I've been using Scale & Stain Remover from the local pool store to remove all kinds of brown (iron) stains from the boat including the brown water stain on the bottom of the boat. Just 1oz into a spay bottle filled with water is enough. Just spray it on and let it sit for about 20 minutes and it will be back to normal.
On the bottom its much better than any instant hull cleaners, doesn't destroy the gel and when you spray it doesn't burn when it blows back on you.

There is a product at Home Depot that you can use specifically for rust called Rust Aid. This stuff is amazing. I sprayed it on rust stains from my sprinkler system, and they just disappeared in about a minute.
