    Hi Bob,

    This spring I used MaryKate Black Streak Remover on my RIB to remove last
    years soot stains (I keep the RIB on Snap Davits) and it worked well.
    Actually I used it on the entire RIB... the Hypalon parts and the fiberglass
    parts.

    I second Bob's suggestion to apply 303 Protectant when clean and dry.

    Be Well,
