So I pulled off a lot of vynil this year, and I have lots of rust stains from staples that were pressed against the fiberglass for ~25 years. I've tried a few different rust stain removers, regular scrubbing, and a mr clean magic eraser. The magic eraser did a little, nothing else did anything. I really want to get rid of this rust so I can try to fill in the bolt holes. I've used naval jelly in the past on steel and it worked really well. Can I use that on my boat? I wanted to check first just in case it eats fiberglass or something.
Here's a good picture of the rust. There's rust where the staples were in contact with the fiberglass, and also around the holes where there were bolts holding it all together:
