Thank you Geoff.  I will be adding three likely so it would not work well if they are not matching to the OEM.  I do appreciate your suggestion.  I do agree that the OEM ones are not the best for their intended purpose though.  If the OEM ones are no longer available, I may just bite the bullet and replace them all to match.  $$$ though....

I’m hooked, have a dozen of these throughout the Oliver! Easy to install; they stay put for the most part; and great for hanging equipment, clothing, towels, hats, bags, you name it. I just twist the suction knob occasionally to maintain a tight hold. Here’s a few examples:

Yes love these Hasko vacuum suction cups, we also have a dozen or so all over inside the trailer, including below the street side bed for shoes…wife’s idea!

Wonderful, need to place another order!

I just removed a Hasko suction cup hook and found a brown stain ring on the fiberglass. This caused me to remove another one in the bathroom and it also left a brown ring of stain. I tried several methods of removing the stain. Got most of it off, but you can still see a faint circle if you know where to look. Has anyone other than me had this problem? As for now these will not be going back up.

David & Gail - 

If these marks really bother you then I think that you have basically two choices:

1 - Make an appointment with the guys at CGI detailing.  I certain they can get it better than new for you.

2 - Polish it our yourself.  If you want to go this route (I would) I'd suggest starting with a fairly light polish such as Meguiar"s Ultimate Polish - THIS STUFF.  If this doesn't do the job then I'd up the ante to something like Shurhold Buff Magic Compound - THIS STUFF.  I believe one of these two will allow you to buff out this stain by hand.  After you polish apply protection to the surface with the wax of your choice.

Use some acetone, it won't hurt the gelcoat and I'll wager the stain will come right off. I use it all the time. Will also remove mildew stains from caulk.

[David and Gail]

Thanks, I will try some of those.

I have some Star Bright black streak remover scheduled to arrive from Bezos on Wednesday.  That stuff works miracles on stubborn stains on fiberglass.  I'm sure it will work on that.

If you don't have acetone you can try a bit of WD-40 or other penetrant.  You shouldn't need much.  Spray a dime size on a rag and rub where the marks are.  Then wash and put a bit of wax on.  Most penetrants use some type of solvent to help it flow into cracks and such and it's the solvent that will clean just about anything.
