Best cleaner for yellowed smooth fishing gelcoat
My boat has not seen water in a long time, but even when it was taken out every week and cleaned I still had this problem. Well-water from my sprinkler system hits the boat, runs down the deck and into the hatch flanges and water gutters and streaks the bulkhead to a gross off-yellow, I have since fixed the sprinklers. I plan on drilling a couple holes in the hatch flanges so they drain, but need some advice on what to use to clean these areas once and for all so they're easy to stay on top of and keep clean. I also need something good to get all the greasy marks off the smooth finish from working on the boat after a long period of time because magic erasers and chlorox cleanup aren't working.

Have you tried 'The Works' Toilet Bowl Cleaner ? (~$1 bottle @ Dollar General, etc... Sometimes that works when nothing else will)
Simple green for everything else.

Use what makes you happy, Don't cry if it turns the boat yellower or eats up your skin.
FSR would have been my first choice for trying to remove those stains.
FSR and a 99 cent paint brush.
most toilet bowl cleaners are bleach....or worse
yup, this will work.
They don't perform as well if there is a natural wax, synthetic sealer or any of their carrying agents on the surface.
It's best to remove any of these type of residual products for best results prior to using your favorite "rust stain" remover.
Even something as simple as denatured alcohol can be helpful in removing these.
After the stains are gone, seal the now-clean surface with whatever wax or polish makes you happy to keep it clean. Waxes or polishes add shine, but the main reason to apply them is to create a barrier against stains and UV rays.
Sometimes I like natural detergents and chemical opposites over petroleum distillates.
But it's sometime nice to know what you are using if only to be aware of possible adverse consequences.
Your product is fine for it's designed market.
