A wet folding chair dripped a nice rust stain on my swim platform this weekend and soap nor deck cleaner will get it up. It is a molded fiberglass nonskid type platform. Any ideas would be apprediated.
 
TRy a Mr. Clean Magic eraser. Worked for me on the non skid. It took rust stains right off. In the fall, at layup, I was building a PVC frame for my tarp. I got some of that purpl PVC primer on the non-skid. Nothing would take it out. A big purple blotch on my perfect foredeck!!! Magic Eraser got it out.
 
Another vote for the Magic Eraser / Barkeeper's Friend. Why pay more?

FSR for vertical surfaces. The cheaper versions for flat surfaces. FSR is in a gel so it stays relatively put.

For rust you need an acid, check the labels of the above and you can confirm. I believe the FSR and barkeepers are simply oxalyic, not sure what is in the magic eraser.
 
A product called "WINK" works great. Available at Publix and other Supermarkets.

It is called whink...

Best I have used is Starbrite's "Rust Stain Remover."
 
Sno Bowl toilet cleaner. Also good for those nasty air conditioner yellow streaks on hull. Don't forget to rewax where needed.
 
Product called IRON OUT also works great. Hardware stores carry it. Wet the area, pour some powder on, work it lightly, washes right off.
 
Bar Keeps Friend removed Red Wine from my swim platform as well as black streaks from shoes, rust, grease from the grill! I luv this stuff! It is cheap and easy to find!
