Angry Gas stain

Any ideas on removing the gas stain from below the fuel vent on the back saddle tanks. The guy at the marina filled the rear saddle tanks instead of the front mains and the fuel expanded and leaked out the vent. Now there is a light yellowish stain below the vent. I tried Starbrite hull cleaner, but it did not take it all off.

A light cut compound should do the trick, just about what they all said should work aswell.
