Exhaust stains
 

Does anyone have a solution for removing a dingy stain from from the hull? I have a 25 SST outlaw I bought last year and I have really kept the boat spotless and worked at trying to remove the stain caused by the exhaust. I went from just flappers (originals) to 7 inch tips to try to get it away from the hull, seems to be working pretty well. However I removed the swim platform for powder coating and the outline of the swim platform is clear. The guy that owned it before me didnt keep the outside that clean and now I am stuck with a stain I cant get off the hull.

I tried rubbing compound with no luck and I am afraid to try anything stronger. Any suggestions/tips???

I used it on my hull, took stains right off!
I didn't use gloves either... didn't harm a thing.

I use Wesley's Bleachwhite Tire cleaner--the works miracles on almost everything and every kind of stain on any material. You might also try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser's--I just tried them on white upholstery--the stuff is FM !!

I give anything a try as long as it doesnt ruin the gel. Its almost like it under the gel...driving me crazy looking at it.

How about Lime-Away...I've used that for the hard water that dries on the exhaust tips. C-L-R also works but I haven't personally used it.

You can try wet sanding with some 1500 then hitting it up with a buffer and some 3m Finessit compound :) would turnout like new

I used Sno-bowl toilet cleaner with great results, but it is an acid and will strip all the wax so be sure to wax afterward and remember to wear gloves.

Lime-a-way works great for the tips. Use a tooth brush to apply it and rinse off. They look like new.

I use Simple green for the transom. Cut it 50% and put in a spray bottle that will give a really fine mist. Then soak the transom. It has to be applied evenly or you'll have white spots. Let it soak for 10min and wipe off. Works like a charm.

"on off" By marykate is made to clean boat hulls it does great ,it should take the stain right out. You can find it at boat supply stores.

I too have used snowbowl and it works good, Nasty acid though so watch your skin and eyes .
