Not sure exactly what you are dealing with; are these 'blue dots' scattered everywhere? If not, you may be dealing with a real pain; I have seen a similar situation where marks made on the back of the vinyl bled through to the front over time. The marks were made by the manufacturer when cutting/sewing the vinyl for installation on the seats. There is nothing that can be done, the vinyl has to be replaced. The marks I saw were red (pink, actually). If you bought new, you may be able to get the dealer or manufacturer to pay for replacement. Hope this isn't your issue...

These blueish dots are located in different areas. The largest area is on the rear bench seat pad, total area there is about the size of a quarter. My buddy is battleing the same thing with his boat. Neither boat is left out in the weather, mine is in an inclosed canapy and his in a garage. I'm at a loss.

I have had those blueish dots on different parts of my boat. If they are what I think, they are spider poop dots. Spiders love the boats and build webs everywhere around the canvas, and usually below where the webs are, you'll see those dots. Softscrub, simplegreen, and awesome usually remove them, but a soft bristle brush is usually needed along with a good dose of elbow grease.

Thanks Bill, I'll give that a shot.

Hey vindicator 101 I have a 31' vindicator 1990 I just bought about 3 weeks ago, what yours like? I have twin 454's and bravo 1 outdrives. Not to change the thread just interested have not seen many vindicators, none like mine yet

Tried softscrub and a tooth brush with no luck... Softscrub and magic eraser, no luck... Will try more options tomorrow.


Mine is a 2400 with a 496HO and I love it. I've had mine for about 6yrs. Might not the best built boat but the price was right at the time and the cockpit area was the largest I found for the size to make the wife and kids happy. Doesn't seem to be to many vindicators around in any size, I've only seen one other where I go and It was a 2400 also. I didn't even know they made a 31ft. hought the biggest was 27ft. Love to see some pix of yours. I see you live in Ockawaha, my inlaws live half the year off 134a just south of Hwy40. Small world.

Does Anyone Know What To Use To Clean The Plexiglass Windsheild?? I Need To Remove Some Scratches And Wanna Keep It Clean Without Creating More Scratches. Any Good Products?? What Kind Of Cloth Should Be Used?? Any Help Would Be Appreacated.

Here is what I like to use on my Vinyl with either a light bristle brush or Magic eraser.
Bio-Kleen Amazing
Fast-Orange
Wesleys Bleach White to brighten the white at the start of the season. (keep off the stitching if possible)
And for the most stubborn crap Castrol Purple Super Cleaner. (careful this is caustic DILUTE!)
Protect with Bio-Kleen Vinyl Protectant
And sometimes the best bleach for your White parts of you interior is Sunlight (UV) especially for pinking vinyl some vinyl pigments will turn pink with the lack of UV.

When I worked at attwood Marine we made the rubber (PVC) covers for the stern light pole hole. They would turn pink during shipping to our customers when put in the cardboard shipping boxes. After a few hours being exposed to UV they would turn back to bright white.
