I was recently oiling the toe rails of my Jeanneau Su Odyssey 42 DS and I spilt some teak oil on the white fibreglass hull. I thought I had wiped it all up but it has left a big stain. I have tried scrubbing to remove it but no luck. Has anyone got any ideas how I can remove the stain? Please help as the other half is really not pleased with me!

This may help; I have had a similar problem with hydraulic oil recently and I used Auto-Glym paint restorer (white, from Halfords) and it got rid of the oil stain entirely.Hydraulic oil is quite aggressive so this should work on teak-oil also.

600 grit or above wet and dry on a sanding block, then polishing compound. (Aquabuff 2000 or 3M will do the job)
