Choose the Star Brite specialty cleaner that matches the stain: Rust Stain Remover for rust, Mildew Stain Remover for mildew, and Hull Cleaner for yellow or brown hull stains. The supplied directions recommend applying the appropriate cleaner, allowing it to sit briefly, and then rinsing the treated area.
Should I protect the hull after using Star Brite Hull Cleaner?

What does Star Brite waterproofing do for boat upholstery and canvas?
Star Brite waterproofing creates a durable water-repellent barrier for boat upholstery and canvas. This treatment is intended for fabric protection rather than general surface cleaning, so shoppers should choose it when the maintenance goal is to protect onboard fabric from water exposure.
Which Star Brite products are available for engine and fuel maintenance?
Star Brite offers fuel additives, enzyme fuel treatments, fogging oils, and 90W gear oil for engine-related maintenance. These products address different tasks, so shoppers should identify whether they need a fuel treatment, storage-related fogging oil, or gear oil before selecting a product.
