I agree with the sun although it might take more then a couple days depending on how bad the stain is. For you guys that use magic eraser, does it dry out your vinyl? or do you just make sure you condition the vinyl afterwards? I have never used it but here alot of good things.

It happened to my seat from a colored T-shirt. It took a lot of scrubbing but the magic erasers finally removed it and didn't damage the vinyl. I don't allow died T-shirts or denim in my boat anymore!

It is absolutely an abrasive, try it on one of your painted walls in your home or trim areas, it'll take the sheen right off. Just be careful how and where you use it. I know somebody who used it on their kitchen cabinets and now when you look at those areas it looks like someone took fine sandpaper to them.

That same thing happened to my Talon seat many years ago. New bright red swimsuit my sister-in-law wore (and it had not been washed) left a red shade on my white seat! This was at the beginning of a week long camping trip. Every cleaner I had on hand would not do anything to remove it. BUT... just being in the sun for a few days and it bleached right out. Completely gone. Before using any harsh cleaners just leave it direct sunlight for a day or two. Good luck!
again do not get after the spot and risk changing it's gloss or surface in any way!
annoying till it gets bleached out? YES, but not as annoying as seeing the spot you worked for the next 10 years!
