    Gel coat stains

    I've got a Paramount that I bought new in 1991, been undercover on my lift until last month. Had the boat in the yard under some trees while I cleaned it up after replacing motor. Bow deck has an area that will hold water if the bow isn't elevated. After 10 days or so put the boat back on the lift and started washing. There are stains from vegetation on the bow deck where it held water and I cant get them out of the gel coat. So far have used bleach ,Ospho and a powdered cleaner with oxalic acid and nothing has even faded it. HELP Thanks, Bobby

    All of the above plus let it sit in the sun. The UV light should take care of it. Follow the science.
