Sea Shield doesn't make an exhaust remover per say that in aware of. But they do make a sealant (Exhaust Guard) that soot doesn't seem to stick to well that makes it pretty easy to wash off.

I would not use Magic Erasers on a painted hull nor on a polished and waxed gelcoat hull that is in good shape. They will dull/scratch a polished surface.

Toilet bowl cleaner will remove the ice tea colored stains from tannic acid. But not do much to remove soot from what I've seen.
