Oil Stain

[Steve Resta]

Hello All,

Have been re-conditioning and refurbishing a a 1998 "Tournament"
There is a nasty stain (streak) coming from the cap on the panel above the steering wheel
that fills the the steering fluid reservoir. Runs down about 12".
Conventional cleaners don't cut it. I am looking for some suggestions that might remove the stain but won't
damage the gelcoat. Any input much appreciated.
Thanks,
SR

On and Off cleans the scumline on my boat with ease.....maybe it will work for hydraulic fluid...?

Works instantly to remove the toughest waterline stains, algae stains, rust & gas exhaust stains. Use on fiberglass only. Will not harm gel coat.

If you have a magic eraser laying around I'd try that first. It's essentially like using a rubbing compound, so tread lightly. Once your done wax the area.
