I park under an oak tree an often have such issues. I will let a little soft scrub sit on it, otherwise rust remover can work. Probably not the best for your gel/glass, but it has worked many times for me.

Assuming your boat is fiberglass- Starbrite Hull Cleaner. However, don't breathe the stuff and make sure you rinse it off of your trailer.

Attwood mildew and stain remover works well also.

50/50 mix of CLR remover from Lowes/Home Depot will take it right off - need to add some spray wax afterwards.
Alot cheaper and goes a long ways over the more expensive stuff.

I go to dollar General and get the cheapest "soft scrub" with bleach that they have.....squirt it on the deck and floors.....then I take cheap bleach and add to the cheap soft scrub....use a stiff bristle brush and spread across everything......let it sit for 10 minutes and rinse off with a hose....looks like the day it came out of the mold.....and she is ready for a coating of Eureka fluid Film (woodys wax replacement $8.00 per bottle)
I know there are many that gasps when they read this.....but $3.00 and 15 minutes of time, mine will look as good as anybody elses....with no negative impact to the gelcoat

I betcha slime and grime works better. And it won't bleach your clothes. It was designed to do exactly what you want. Removes stains on a boat deck. The active ingredient is oxalic acid. It works great. And no waiting. I have a 16 oz can of powder that you mix. I have only used half in 7 years. Can't beat that price

Have them all the time when the oak is shedding "worms".
Just take and mix a half water/ half bleach solution and spray on. Leave for about 5 minutes and them wash good with soapy water to remove the bleach.
Some will say no bleach, but I have done it for years and never had a problem. Boat is still new white! Trick is to wash it with soap after a few minutes to remove the bleach residue.
