If it won't come off with ivory soap and water, I would leave it. You'll do more harm than good using anything abrasive or anything with chemicals that can erode the gortex. Think of it as adding character.

I think of every mark, discoloration, snag, etc as if it tells a story. Kind of like a totem pole you wear. Just remember the fishing story that went along with your blue-grey streak and it won't worry you any more.

When you are on the river its not a fashion statement. Better to have waders that look a little diffent than have waders that have a leak because you tried to get off the streak. At least you'll know which waders are yours.

My feeling is that whatever doesn't come off when you run a hose over your waders after fishing, is part of the outfit.

Think of the marks as part of a new fishing ensemble.

As long it isn't egg goo, leave it alone... maybe it is a lucky streak. :yay:

If water wont do it, than just start addin to it!! Try putting some fish blood on the other side and then white jig paint on the front. Them be american waders :smile:
