I've got an aluminum boat that has a deck coated with a spray gel designed to minimize the heat and add grip to the boat deck. It is basically a hybrid between a rhino-lining and a pure gel coat.

Anyway, the boat was uncovered for some time and there are stains even after a thorough pressure wash and scrub.

Anyone have success with a particular product or method to eliminate the stains?

TIA

Try some Cajun brown. Then pressure wash it. Probably going to require a scub brush and some elbow grease

I wet my deck and spray it with bleach and let it sit in the sun.

Jomax - it turbo charges bleach
Buy it at Home Depot or Lowes.

Tell us more about this coating, please. I'm interested in something like that for my boat.

Fantastic for fiberglass gel coat. Not sure about the hybrid that you have.

I bought the boat used so I'm not quite sure of the exact material. The boat deck would have been a smooth aluminum, but with the coating it has the feel of a gel but the "bumps" of something like Rhino-lining.

Aluminium and bleach don't mix well...
