Default removing algea stains from hull

i had to keep my offshoreman on the lake while having the trailer repaired and the green nasty leached into the gel coat. i've pressure washed and bleached it but still have a visible stain.
is there anything on the market to get this out or does anyone have a grandpa's potion their willing to share?

Mary Kate "On Off" should do it. Be careful tho as it's an acid. Won't hurt the gelcoat, but will eat your skin and etch the trailer. Also "Barkeepers Friend" will probably work.
You may want to do a search, as lots of possibilities.

Until last month I was paying $30 for a gallon of special boat cleaner called "That Stuff". It was made espeically for boat stains/rust. A few weeks ago, i tried a product called "The Works". It sells for about $3 and you can buy it in your local grocery store. Its for rusts and bathrooms, but will take off the stains within seconds. IT also has a pleasant aroma. I GUARANTEE you it will do the trick. Spray on, wait about thirty seconds and rinse with a hose. Tougher stains may take another spray. Good luck.

FSR, it's the the blue gel. You can buy at WestMarine or BW. In a decade of boating I haven't seen a stain that it won't take off. Let us know what works.
