Oxalic acid in a cleanser form like "Barkeeper's Friend" or Muriatic acid will remove rust stains from the deck on a Whaler.

'Sno-Bowl' toilet bowl cleaner. Let it sit on stubborn stains, but don't let it dry! Will also remove bleeding rust 'runs' down hulls from stainless fasteners.

i would recommend On & Off, its very good and i use it on all sorts of stains. i recommend to wear gloves and spread it out with a brush then let it sit for a while and wash away with water

A product named "FSR" it's a blue gel in a clear can. The FSR stands for Fiberglass Stain Remover. It does!!!! It has Ospholic acid in it. I know i did not spell that one right.
