Default Brown water stains

I am boating the nice clear waters of the Chesapeake Bay. At the end of day when its back on the trailer I have a brown stain on the hull from were the boat sits when still in the water. Soap doesn't touch it. Hull cleaner takes it right off. I have waxed it a couple of times. But still have stains at the end of the day. Is there a wax out there that will stop this staining so I dont have to use Hull Cleaner?

use to take me half a day to clean off the ring around the bottom of the Donzi after a weekend in the water, now takes about five minutes. Works best on a dry surface so i just let it sit at my shop overnight and walk around it with a spray bottle, hose it off and i'm done.

Imron paint pretty much prevents it, but it's expensive and not an absolute solution. We are in the silver 382 Formula stored in Tome's Landing.

Raw gel coat will always stain. I used to use StarBrite Hull Cleaner, but have now switched to "The Works" toilet bowl cleaner.

Chuck, i use to use The Works and switched to PowerOne. No comparison, I might use about 1/2 of a qt to do the bottom of the 38. Spritz it on and just let it sit for a minute or so then hose it off. It does like to be done on a dry surface though.

Getting the brown OFF is not my issue I use attwoods and put it in a nice trigger sprayer and "Bamm" I bought this boat from Pier 57 this past year and there are a couple of what looks like a spray pattern like from a spray bottle and they are always bleach white and the rest of the lower hull is brown so there has to be something out there that works to keep the stains off. Has anyone used Mguires boat wax?

I live just out of Port and for now I keep my boat on APG until I get the new shop built. Im in a white 29 fever with blue and black strips. Hit the sand islands, Chesapeake inn, Nauti's and Red Eye.

once you get it off you can polish the bottom with liquid glass and it will not return for a while.....works for me
