Tilex on the Mildew (works like magic) and a pressure washer, electric, under 1800psi does a great job.

I think Steve's referring to the rub rail... it is black and can cause gray/black streaking down the side of the boat as it ages and deteriorates.

Rubrail, yes, that's it. Couldn't,t remember the name, how to remove the black streaks that stain the side from them. Thanks Km. :)

I also use comet with a sponge (rough surface type) for getting some of the more stuborn stains out.I also wax the boat once a year which makes cleanings much easier.Goof luck Brian
