I have got some rust stains in the anchor well from a rusted chain, have removed the rusty chain and replaced with stainless steel, any hints to remove the stains as i cannot get the buff in there and hand polishing has proved useless
Regards Scott

I've had good luck with Starbrite Hull Cleaner for stubborn stains, including rust. If that doesn't work you could try Iron Out or a similar iron stain powder. Wear gloves with either of those products, and if you end up using one of the caustic powders, make sure you have plenty of ventilation - the fumes are really strong.

Maybe try CLR (Calcium, Lime, & Rust) Cleaner?

will that work on those marks u get under fittings. around one of the cleats on the side of the hull there are small stains on the gelcoat. I thought somewhere you could use something, maybe like the CLR, rather then just cutting polish...
