Default gas stains on fiberglass

got some stains on the hull from weep holes on the gas tank after
filling...any ideas about how to get these off? Thanks much!


Taht's always the problem I'[ve had with my v huls. the tank cap is in
front of the drivers windshield, and so is the vent. fueling them is a
pain because the pump[ is pumping then if not careful to shut the pump
down before the filler neck is full, the pump handle makes a smard
*click!* as the gasolinee comes puking back out of the top. OK so now
it's full, but every jossle and gas comes dribbling out of the tank
vent.

i got to the point where I'd wash it as fast as I could with
windshield washer and a wet cloth, but eventually I gave up trying to
get rid of the stain every time I slopped gas on the hull. . But I'll
detail them when I moth ball them for the winter. Bon-ami doesnt't do
bad but really dulls the finish, so It'll get a good scrubbing then a
wax job, and I doubt it will look good -as- new, but it'll be better'n
what it was.
