How do you get a stain on the bottom when you boat upside down.

Just messing with you.

I like 3M Finesse it II, it will cut through the stain and haze. Follow with a polish then wax.

I recommend Star Brite instant hull cleaner. This product is great, I don't need scrubbing or scrubbing. all I do is spray this detergent onto the boat, within 30 seconds it turns white.

The instant hull cleaners work great just make sure your trailer is covered or washed down thoroughly afterwards. The cleaners are acidic that's why they work.

Great advice. The acid will turn the galvanizing black.

Any product with Oxalic Acid will work. These include most rust stain removers.
I use a product called SnowCap well water rust remover. It’s in powder form and can be mixed to whatever batch size is needed. As mentioned above, protect galvanized surfaces and glass. I use a normal garden sprayer to apply. 1-3 mins later, rinse with lots of water. Job done.
