teak oil stains

[Mike Lehker]

I am a new owner of a used Catalina 27. There are teak oil stains on the gel coat of the deck. Does anyone know of a solvent or cleaner that will remove the stain without damaging the gel coat? Any other suggestions regarding stain removal in general would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'd try some acetone first..then some compound

Acetone

Agree with Mark. Acetone will clean just about any marks on gelcoat without damaging it. If they've been there a long time though, probably will need a good buffing with compound which means you'll lose a little of the gelcoat layer.
