Probably will need a wet sand... You cAn try fountain of youths power one product on the white area and see if it will lift it then buff and wax behind it.... Stuff is pretty amazing but not sure how bad orbdeep the gas has penetrated

On off acid should do it, or you can try fsr. If you go the acid route keep it only on the white and wear gloves and have a hose handy.

The gel coat is durrable but most aggressive cleaners will damage the decals.
