I'd have to agree. I used some today to clean my bilge and figured I give the vinyl a shot. It works wonders.

Clorox spray cleaner with bleach. And a magic eraser works well too.

west marine sells roll off. I'd stay way from the clorox bleach. Your hands will smell like bleach for a day or so and it doesn't work nearly as well as roll off.

I use potent purple that you can get at detailers supply places. I work in a dealership so we have a bunch of it in the detail department. Use that and a plastic bristle brush and it will make your vinyl look like new. I tried the leverage and it worked about the same.
