Keeping it Clean???
HEllo I am a new owner of a 2002 Scarab 33' AVS wich just got delivered in Ontario Canada. My problems is taking out stains from falling leaves.. Had it parked on the trailer for a few days and it stained the top of the boat. I tryed cleaning it but it leaves a stain where the leaves where sitting. Is there something I can use to take it out? Maybe the boat was not waxed and now that does not protect it? it seems to stain very easy. Anyone have any ideas??

On a related note - someone spilled some red wine on my seats and it sat over night - I was devastated, but low and behold, after a weekend or two of normal use and the resultant sun exposure - the stain is gone.

I've had the same thing happen before. Even worse was the leaves fell in a storm and were wet and sticking. I tried several things, most of which required a lot of work. Then I simply sprayed on some Clorox Clean Up on the stains. They disappeared within minutes. Wash normally after and rewax.

i know it sounds really bad.. put some bleach in a spray bottle and spray the deck, then wash right after.. then i would put a layer of wax on.. i had big stain problems around my house and i would do it quite a bit, but would also wash and spray wax right away.. never any problems, and the deck of my cig was as bright white as if it was new....

To all:
Do NOT use ON/OFF anywhere on your boat. It is really VERY bad for your gel coat.
