Removing Black Streak marks


for years I had trouble removing these black streak marks on the freeboard
of my sailboats.

The only thing that work was to use a mild compound and wax after.

Other people and professional boat cleaners are using a strong soap like
Spay 9 and waxing after.

All that require some elbow crease and I wonder if there is something else
that can be done.

This morning I saw a product (made in the US) in the RV section of Canadian
Tire that is labelled Black Streak remover. I am a little apprehensive to
use this product and I wonder if anyone had some experience or other way to
remove these black streak marks.

Acetone and a soft rag works well for me.

I used to use MaryKate Black Streak Remover on my old boat, just spray
it on a dry surface, let it sit a few seconds, give a light brushing,
sit a few minutes and rinse off. It used to work just fine with
minimal work, it might be worth a try.

I was given a bottle of this stuff by a neighbor who took pity on me
after watching my deck scrubbing antics. It's great stuff and does what
it says. It doesn't seem to be very harsh or caustic, and has little
odor. I have no idea where he got but if I come across it I'll happily
pick up another bottle. If the price is reasonable I say give it a try...

You can find it at West Marine... $15 or so.

Yes, it works great.
