removes iron from water softener resin tanks. Also removes Ramon stains from gel coat instantly. Just mix some in water and pour

Do not use the chemicals all the time. Hydrogen Peroxide will take off any brown water stains in the future, and is a lot easier on the hull.

When possible, try to buff or polish. The acid in the cleaners eat away the gel coat making it porous and prone to even more stubborn staining.

Star Brite hull cleaner...it's oxalic acid also....use rubber gloves

Just make sure to rinse with baking soda or you might find your live well clean but your bait dead🥱😎🇺🇸

Any thoughts on a product to keep the stain away once cleaned ? Have been using Star Brite Premium wax and the stain seems to come back fairly quickly. I do fish a lot in the marshes around Galveston where there seems to be more tannins in the water.

I cringe at all the harsh stuff people suggest for cleaning their boats. Save that stuff for the last resort

Booyah will clean all your tannins and isn't harsh. No need for gloves or having to worry about metals. Just apply and watch the tannins melt right before your eyes. It's pretty satisfying.

Bar Keeper's Friend is oxalic acid with a little grit to it. I've found it doesn't necessarily scratch polished gelcoat, but I'd be careful with it. That being said, it is great for stains and I use it to prep before any heavy compounding. It helps remove some oxidation. It doesn't work well for mildew, but that's a better job for bleach.
