HELP! Interior Stains that will not come out!!!
Hey guys-
I've got some stains on a white vinyl interior that won't come out! It's on the sundeck and very noticeable.
From what i can tell, the stains are from green leaves and green buds from trees that fell onto it when the cover was pulled back 1 night. The stains and cover got wet, and was covered outside for 2 weeks before i noticed it, not nothing seems to work. Here's what i've tried......
Simple green full strength
Orange Blast full strength
Soft Scrub w/bleach
Windex
Magic Erasers
Rolloff
Mildew and stain remover
Dish Soap
I'm basically out of options, and the boat is being viewed this coming weekend for a possible sale! I believe the stains have actually dyed the vinyl to this nasty greenish/yellow. None of the spots are big (diameter of pencil or so), but there has gotta be 150-200 of these little dots/streaks across the entire sundeck. Please HELP!

Scrubbing bubbles with a bit of bleach......but be careful and then treat it with some sort of conditioner afterwards

I'll try brake cleaner, AND scrubbing bubbles in just a bit. Until then, keep the ideas coming guys! I'm at a complete loss!
