Default Hull stains are a b*tch!!!

Can anyone tell me what is the best stuff to get stains off of the hull? I left my baja in the water for 3 days and now its stained to hell!!! I tried pressure washer and degreaser with no luck. Lesson learned here....Algae is not your friend!!!

Definately On Off. You can find it at boatus of west marine. It's mureatic acid and nothing works as well.

pressure washer won't do dick, as I am sure you now know. If On/Off -don't let it sit for long, strong stuff.
