To clean rust stains of the hull i borrowed a trick from Shannon Lush book on cleaning - use a mixture of Glycerine and Baby powder, make this into a past and use a bit of elbow grease to rub it into the rust stain area then wipe of with a wet rag.

This takes a little time but really cleans the rust stain off well. If any one has a solution for the rust stain from Re appearing i would love to hear it. I have the bolts that hold the front crossbar on rusting onto the hull again, cleaned last year, time to do it again.
Let us know how you get on
