Sean, starting a new topic for this one. I tried to get the word out on Ultrabrite last year. It is amazing on stainless and fiberglass also. Most bird crap stains disappear. Use liberally with stiff nylon brush and rinse. Non-skid is especially easy to restore after dirty footprints etc. If you have any aluminum on fiberglass scuffs, they're gone! Happy cleaning.

My lifelines just got replaced, they were the originals, so they were 24 years old. I considered trying to clean them up, but when I tried working on them the vinyl began to crack and peel off. New ones made locally cost me about $75.00.

"Ultrabrite" as in toothpaste! $1 a tube, works great, non-toxic.

Another excellent cleaning product is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I have been using it to remove stains that nothing else took off the fiberglass.
