How do I Get Rid of Discoloration?

[Eric]

After I powerwashed and scrubbed the boat, motor, and trailer last night, I noticed some discolored areas on the hull.  The hull is white, but there are some areas that are stained off-whitish, brown.  It is not at the water line, and is not really uniform.  Any ideas?  Soap scum remover, comet, Color restorer???

soap WHAT remover?
you got a lot of that round your house do ya?

That was supposed to be scum.  Apparently the s turned into space and capital c.  Oops.  You'd think it was Monday morning or something.  So, you got any ideas on how to get rid of it?  Guess I don't need to bother asking if anyone wants to fish LSC Wed-Sat this week, now do I.

ohhhhhh ok... well - just a guess.. but i would try some light rubbing compound on a soft rag.

FYI - There is a "modify" button you can use to correct your posts.    I fixed it for you because...yikes! 

BTW - A 50/50 mix of Vinegar and Water and a lot of elbow grease will probably take care of the stain as good as anything you can buy on the market.  I wouldn't mess up the gel coat by trying to use anything abraisive such as Comet.

Since a lot of the discoloration was on the back of the boat, and thedude is the only one who has been back there, I figured............

I had some Meguiar's marine & rv color restorer on my shelf.  That, in conjunction with a clean your dishes type scrub pad, took it right away.  A good wax job and we look like new.

Thanks for the help, and for the help.
