cover bled hint of color onto white vinyl how to get out
A buddy picked up his boat from storage.
It was put away and wiped down before leaving it in heated storage.
It was raining on the way there, we wiped it down before putting it away but when he picked it up there is faintl hints of color on the perimeter of the white on the sunpad. I'm assuming the foam was wet and the color from the cover bled some color onto the vinyl.
Its not very noticeable but would like to remove it if possible. Does anyone have a product or a trick or experience with this?
Soft scrub with bleach?
Thanks

Bright sun can/will usually take care of it.

I like the sun theory! it does seem to good to be true. I will tell him to pull it out in the sun. Are you talking 1 day? a week? what kind of timeframe do you give it before moving on to something else?

Yep! As others have said, Ol' Sol can work wonders on stains. My daughter got hold of a ball point pen when she was about 3 and "decorated" the front passenger seat on my boat. I about had a cow! I tried a few cleaners like Simple Green, Tough Stuff, even alcohol and a few other strong ones in a couple of inconspicuous spots. Nothing touched it. Then as the summer wore on, the "decorations" slowly faded away. There is no trace of them now.
