A little difficult to explain but many plastic merchant bags now have Color ADs on them with names of the store, etc. One of these bags was left face down in a fiberglass tub and the ink reacted somehow with the fiberglass tub surface leaving a nasty stain which is impossible to wash off. HELP ... any chemical engineers or chemist out there...My bath tub has writing on it now.
How to remove plastic bag AD ink stain from fiberglass tub?

Well, I'm a chemist, without knowing what chemicals are involved can't say. I guess bleach doesn't touch it 
You could try leaving a solution of bleach in the bathtub for a few hours, but that would possibly corrode your plughole.
Have you tried a cream-cleaner? If the ink has penetrated into the fibreglass gelcoat then this won't help, but if it is just sitting on the surface then the mild abrasive action of cream cleaner might shift it.
Possibly T-cut, that has been recommended for bath scratch removal on here too.
