Check your pm's. I would use Orpine WASH&WAX. For the stains use the soft scrub bleach gel

DawnN dishwashing detergent hull topside , soft scrub w/ bleach for tuff spots . Use scrubs to apply & wash.

Dawn is a great cleaner and cheap and that's what a lot of people use. Not sure it's meant to be used in the marine environment though.

Best boat soap I've found is Crazy Clean. Comes in concentrate and a few squirts on the deck is all you need. Cleans like no other soap I've ever used.

Any soap that is farily aggressive on stains is going to take some wax off.
Best thing to do is occationally treat your high traffic areas like the deck with Woody Wax so the decks won't stain as easily to begin with. Once the deck is clean, you spray it on wait for a few minutes and hose it off. Great for non skid since it's not slippery once hosed off. It is however expensive.

Hope this helps.

Dawn is the used to clean oil laden wildlife so I doubt it's not enviormentaly
safe.
Great boat cleaner, used for over twenty seasons !

Dawn is definitely excellent for basic cleaning.

For stubborn stains, I've used Power Bolt citrus based cleaner to great effect. And to restore luster, Flitz polish (though you MUST wax afterwards) Flitz is an amazing product when it comes to polishing fiberglass/gelcoat...it's gotten the nastiest stains out nothing else could.
