You can easily get it at Home Depot $9 gallon. Literally spray it on with a bug sprayer and come back 5 minutes later and hit it with a hose.
Perfectly white and 10x cheaper than any marine product....

[ATTACH=CONFIG]506738[/ATTACH]All acid based cleaners damage your gel coat. Do research!!!
Use Ring-go to clean bottom and keep your gel coat damage free. Also - search Ringo here on OSO.

I can't speak for everyone on here, but I have learned from my mistakes. I will never put any kind of acid based cleaner on any of my boats again. It removes the wax causing the stains to apear more frequent. Even if you wax the fiberglass after cleaning.
If a little research is done, or maybe talk to someone in the fiberglass boat building profession. They can confirm this. The mold for fiberglass is waxed then the gel coat is put in then the fiberglass. The mold it then removed from the whatever (in this case a boat hull) it is polished out and finished. The wax from the mold is still on the hull and acts like a protective barier. Over time when acid is used for cleaning it removes the wax and etches the gel coat. Even if you rewax the hull it will never be like it was when it came out the mold.
I am not a professional this is just what I have learned and my option is never to use acid base cleaners on my boats again.
