x2 "The Works" will take the yellow stain off in seconds. I use to use FSR,but now I just spray on The Works & rinse. Make sure to wet the trailer before you start & rinse it real good when done, it will etch the galvanize.

Been knowing about about the chip in the fiberglass but I just noticed the crack. That had to happen in Grand Isle a couple weekends ago cause it wasen't there the last time I cleaned it. Guess it's going to the shop now. And there is a pic of the fading black. Man this makes me sick!!!

Hard to tell from the pic, but does the stain look like it has set "into" the rub rail ???

not sure about cost but I think I would change the white to black and the hull looks like it just needs a good compound job

It has to be set in cause I have been trying to get it white again for a year. Man when I saw that crack I just stopped cleaning and went inside. I have 4 days off coming up so I plan on trying some of these products you guys told me about and I'm going to have to go by a shop to see how much to fix the damage.

Thats what im thinking. Do you guys know if that piece just slides out or pops out? I guess I have to go by a Nautic Star dealer to find it too.

Try Magic Eraser & Dawn to clean that rail up. Get 'em at any grocery store. Looks like creosote? Hard to tell on the photos. If creosote stains, then I would try some Bug and Tar Remover on a cloth on one spot - maybe a 2 inch section to see if that removes most of it - then wash with Dawn and re-wax if you like it. Get a good glass man to look at the sore spots. Good luck.

We used to fight that same stain on Bell pop-out window trim, straight bleach would turn it a couple of shades lighter for VIP missions and such but it would "yellow" it up worse after time... The only fix was to replace it...

Your fiberglass guy can probably put you onto a different style/color trim... Good luck with the repairs...

Probably just some type of channel that it pops in, holler at southern on repairs for crack

Use an aluminum brightner you can get at most any truck (18 wheeler) parts store depends on the manufacture how stong you can mix it that will remove the discoloration on your hull if you are close to DeRidder give me a call can fix you up 337-794-1829 (USE GLOVES CONTAINS HF ACID ) if you dont fingernails will turn black and blue fill like you hit them with a hammer
