I'm sure this has been asked before - but what is the best product to use to remove oil/grease stains from the hull? Can you use a household cleaner/degreaser or will that damage the gelcoat? My gelcoat is slightly oxidized so will that complicate the cleaning?
 
If you plan to rewax the hull, remove the stain with acetone. The acetone will remove the wax, too....
 
Try On-Off. It won't hurt the gel-coat and it will remove stains. Careful, wear gloves or you'll feel a very unpleasant tingling/burning sensation trust me!
 
Also you might find that the areas cleaned will be brighter than the surrounding areas. Keep cleaning and buy more On-Off. All the wax will be gone don't forget.
