grease on my hull - any suggestions

[Rum Buddies]

I just got a boat hauled up from the east coast and during transport I got some nasty grease(?) stains on the hull. I have tried cleaning them off and I can get most of it off, but there is still an off color stain where the grease was - any idea on how to clean this?

This is probably obvious ,but, have you tried soaking it in FSR ?

acetone, works great, a couple rubs with a rag and it takes out any stains and it evaporates extremely fast.. I use it to remove teak oil stains from fiberglass, amazing results..

Our local boat ramp is inside the marina and quite often there is a lot of oil, grease, and gunge collected at the ramp area. I remember using 3M Sharpshooter to remove grease stains my hull and since then I have used 3M Marine fibreglass cleaner and wax # 09009. I found that after I waxed my boat with this product, that cleanup was as easy as just using the hose with a spray nozzle on it. It lasted about a two seasons. But it keeps oil and algae from sticking to the hull. So now I have a winter project I do my hull in about 6 hours spread over a week or two.
The 09009 is available at Canadian Tire, but the sharpshooter I got from our 3M rep

Here is a link to their marine catalog

green clean is good I use it to clean grease and oil off stuff

spray on rinse off after a few mins -test it in an inconspicious spot first
