What is this on my gel coat?

[usaski1]

Look at this strange discoloration?!! I don't know what it is, its in several spots, all below the water line. Cant clean it off. 16073

That's normal. Just use The Works toilet bowl cleaner (other toilet bowl cleaners won't work) or if you want to get real intense, Muriatic Acid and water at about a 1:3 ratio or a little less. Wear gloves and safety glasses.

If those don't work - wetsanding, rubbing compound, polishing compound, then wax will definitely do the trick.

I used to use sno bol on my white hull. Nothing like it. Try not to breathe it though and rinse well. Wear rubber gloves or keep rinsing your hands too.

Thanks, will that toilet bowl cleaner wreck my finish?

[eblom]

I used Meguires marine cleaner wax on mine... Or If that doesn't work star brite hull cleaner which is muriatic acid I believe... the acid can bleach yr trailer if you aren't careful

[ChrisK]

No, it won't affect the finish, just be sure to hose it off and clean afterward

When your rider has a huge wipeout that scares the ______ out of them, it is advisable to circle around once or twice, dousing them with a few nice rollers to wash off any residual _____ before you pull up and stop in the _____ to ask if they are ok and pick them up. :eek:
