I went to Petaluma last week and the all boats tied to the dock downtown found brown spots on our decks apparently from something falling onto the boats. I have tried Simple Green, Bon Ami, Acetone, Hull Cleaner and oxalic acod/wood bleach. None remove the stain but the abrasion of the Bon Ami lightens it slightly and the oxalic acid leaves lightened patches of non-skid but does little to lighten the stain.
I left a message for one of our resident TFers, mfreeman1998, who is a member of the Petaluma YC hoping he's heard of this and knows of a solution. In the meantime, does anyone here recognize these stains? Any suggestions for removing them without discoloring the underlying non-skid?
I suppose one option is to allow them to fade over time in the sun, but I kind of have my doubt that this will be effective.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
