Default Vinyl Cleaner

Any of you guys been successful in cleaning the grim that builds up in the recessed textured areas of the vinyl Fountain uses? I have tied all the standard cleaners and magic erasers and nothing really gets to that. I am thinking about using a steamer and soft brush next. Any suggestions?

Call down to BRP in NC and ask Chad to send you a can of what they use.

It's the best thing I've come across. I bought a case of it from them.

Suprising how well mineral spirits works. Lots of old timers use it and you know what it is vs the latest miracle product.

Well wax on, wax off, but a magic eraser on the vynil is the start of the end all. Those mothers will strip the finish off and you will never be able to make it look like new again. Mild soapy solution, soft cloth, much time, good as new! Or just change the behavior that chit it all up in the first place and save all the drama.

I have been using an automotive ,, Convertible Top cleaner,, for years, it cleans my Fountain interior like new,, better than anything I ever used, and I have used a lot of cleaners in 25 years of boating, I will get the name of the product if you want it.

I've had pretty good luck with mothers VLR cleaner/ conditioner. Cleans and conditions all at once. It will take away minor blemishes from dead bugs and such. Usually to remove a scuff I use something more aggressive with ammonia in it, but as soon as the scuff is gone I clean the ammonia cleaner off with water and then re apply the VLR.
