Default Yellow stained bottem hull help?

What is the best chemical to use to get the yellow off the bottem, looking for something that is not like a huge smack to the face while applying, and won't mess up my alum. Trailer?
Is there something I can apply that wont allow it to yellow?

Get "The Works" bathroom cleaner in a spray bottle.

Wet trailer down good, spray cleaner on hull and lightly scrub.

A good wax puts off staining, a product called Ioso works better. Thats about all you can do.

Power One cleans pretty good. I have also used Iron Out or muriatic acid. Some guys use toilet bowl cleaner. If you find something that keeps it off, let me know, cause I havent seen it yet.

Star Brite Hull Cleaner worked good for me and is less aggressive to your hull than competitive acid based bottom cleaners. Put it in a spray bottle, hose off any areas around the hull ie: trailer, outdrives, wheels before you apply.

I don't know anything that will prevent the staining except consistent waxing the bottom.

Awesome stuff. Spray it on and brush it around. You will see the hull turn white before your eyes without scrubbing. Spray upwind, you don't want a wif of it. Wash the boat with Starbrite Black Streak Remover first. If you don't, the Hull Cleaner will float the soot to a new location where it sets and stays til the next wash. These products have never done anything to my aluminum trailer. Not even the polished utility box.
