I'd be careful with any abrasive products. They'll eventually wear off the
gelcoat. The only abrasive I would even suggest for gelcoat is AquaBuff
2000. It's a polishing compound. It will smooth and polish gelcoat but is
still lightly abrasive.
I used to use SoftScrub with bleach but decided

(it's acid based, forget which acid, but I've been using it on my gelcoat

Hi Mark,
I use phosphoric acid ~ 50% and a scotchbrite pad to clean up rust
stains. I think the principle ingredient of CLR is a dilute version
of what I use so it might take more time. Scrubbing with the pad

than a soak.
