CLEANERS

[twodzusfittings]

I have some really bad staining where I spilt Teak Oil on my cockpit walls and Lazarette lids. I have scrubbed with boat soap and water, I've tried acetone and Murphy's Oil soap. It's just not coming away. I found a product called FSR which I was told may work. Has anyone used it with success? Or if you have a product you may suggest. I have a buffer tool and I have no problem working it with my hands. Not looking for the easy way out, want something that genuinely works. Thanks in advance.

I've read that dawn works well but havent tried it. Following this thread to see what the experts say

Not an expert, but I would try Comet or Barkeepers Friend. Needs to be lightly abrasive

Fiberglass Stain remover works well on a lot of stains. It won't hurt the fiberglass. BarKeepers Friend is also a good option because it contains oxalic acid and the grit is finer than other abrasive cleaners.

I like Bar Keepers Friend. Available at Amazon and many hardware stores. It is lightly abrasive and an acidic in powder form. I’ve used in on fiberglass and Formica to get out organic stains. Sometimes it works miracles.
I understand that a Mr Clean pad also might work. It will leave micro scratches that will dull the surface.
Always test these products in an inconspicuous place or scrap before diving in.

I wouldn't use the magic erasers on anything that shines. My last boat was a 78 and we didn't clean without it. We try to avoid using it on our 94 though
