GL: Acid rain? - was Ethanol in fuel

We had a pretty good rain last week.  I was amazed that the "waterway
moustache" was partially washed off the hull of my boat.  There are now white
streaks in the stain on the bow where the water cascaded off the decks and
down the hull in concentrated areas.  I'm assuming its acid rain.  Now, here's
a business opportunity for someone.  Bottle acid rain and market it as hull
cleaner!  Make sure to put the word "marine" somewhere on the label so you can
charge really outrageous prices!
