Wine stain
Am looking for a product that effectively cleans red wine stains from fiberglass nonskid. I've tried scrubbing with orange cleaner, rubbing compound, and bleach. Any recommendations for marine cleaning products?

Re: Wine stain
Last week I used 3m marine compound and wax for heavily oxidized and scratched surfaces and Le Bordeau n'était plus visible

Unlike Pokerrick 1 I omitted step one and went straight to the chemical solution.

Re: Wine stain
After about three weeks of sun exposure, the stain will vanish.
I spilled a glass of red on the July 4 weekend. It ran from the cockpit bench and flooded the non-skid under the pilot seat. A paper towel picked up the puddle and sunshine did the rest. Not a shadow remains.

Re: Wine stain
These stain spots have been there for about a month, and the sun is just baking them in!After about three weeks of sun exposure, the stain will vanish.

Re: Wine stain
