Looking for tips here. I have one that had years of algae and creosote buildup from the previous owner. Most of that came off, but is very discolored. Anything out there that will actually make it white again? I tried Greased Lightning, Simple Green, Westley's Bleeche White ( as in whitewalls for your car), and Tarminator. The Tarminator got the creosote off, and the Westleys got off some of the surface dirt. But there are deeply embedded stains. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Did you try "Mr. Cleans Magic Eraser"?

Works wonders on a lot of items.

I had a similar problem so I put them in a large garbage can with 3 or 4 cups of Clorox Bleach and filled it full of water. You will have to figure out how to put considerable weight on top of the fenders to keep them from floating. I left mine overnight and it did wonders.
