I use Clorox clean weekly on mine. I do use a vinyl conditioner afterwords I don't know what it is I got it from West marine.

We use to clean it weekly with Clorox clean-up, however we discovered Krazy Klean & Magic Eraser. When things are really tough to get out, we use a gray scotch brite and just use it very lightly on the vinyl. There's nothing it hasn't removed.

I do think the conditioning afterwards makes a difference when using the bleach.

I have white interior and use HAARTZ vinyl cleaner. It works best when used with water. I keep a full spray bottle of deionized water in the boat. Spray the vinyl with water then same amount of cleaner and wipe it down. Cleans up great! Then always follow-up with 303 Protectant. Crap won't stick near as bad with the protectant applied. :drink:

where can I find 303 ??

Re: Spider Crap on Vinyl
 

If they still carry it, West Marine. I think you might also have one or two advertisers here that carry it....Hope this helps.

With a lot of boat shows coming up and spring a couple of months around the corner, I thought this might be good for everyone that is cleaning.

Re: Spider Crap on Vinyl
 

Somehow I got a dab of blue Locktite on my brand new vinyl. The only "cleaner" I had available are OSO swipes which were ineffective.
What will remove the blue locktite stain from vinyl??

Re: Spider Crap on Vinyl
 

Had the same problem.Used soft scrub and a few others but what I did was scrub it with it then put more on the spot and let the sun bleach it for a couple hrs and came right off.303 after that.Another thing i do is when I put the boat up for the week I clean the vinyl if needed and then spray it with 303 put just let it set on it without wiping it off.

Bill,
I will be giving you a call shortly.

In case anyone else has this happen:

In short, you are pretty much up a creek. In the past we have used a mild alcohol blend to remove certain stains, but depending on the stain, you can easily do more damage than not. You might not see the damage immediately, but the long term effects can and will weaken the vinyl. Gel ink stains, loctite and others are almost detrimental to vinyl. Just remember, if you do get a stain on it and do try something, be very careful and put on a conditioner when your finished.

Can't say it's going to work HOWEVER, this spray has proven to remove stains that some of our other club members say they've worked years at trying to remove. It's probably worth a try. If you order some, Let them know I or Rich sent you. Might get the special treatment. Or on second thought...if you say Rich...you might not.

These guys carry a GREAT LINE!
