If the stain is rust, many commercial products will attack it. Other corrosion detritus won't respond as well. The trick is getting rid of stains is to keep the active material in contact long enough to dissolve the mark. A building maintainance supply firm will have producxts that might work. Janitorial supply places are another source. If nothing seems to work, then a low cost air powered sand blaster wil help. Body shops use these for spot cleaning small rust areas before repairs. HTH
