Hi folks,
I had hired a young teenager to apply teak oil on the gunwale trim. Unfortunately I didn't supervise closely and even though it was meticulously masked off he slopped it on having it run down onto the white gelcoat! Now there's quite noticeable stains here and there ,:-|

I've tried wiping with acetone but are only getting them partially removed.

Does anyone have any solutions?

I was hoping to recoat the white with polyurethane paint but afraid it wont adhere to the areas with the stains.

Thanks in advance...
Bob

use sno bowl toilet cleaner from the dollar store.

also, coat liberally with dawn dish soap. let it sit over the oil stain for an hour or so, then scrub and rinse.
