You live here year round?

Yes. Year round. I'm gonna half of it for work. I'm a captain on a supply boat. There's a solid crowd of us year rounders.

Meanwhile, I'll rinse/wash her after each use and try to spray wax her every other week or so to keep her as nice as she is. This boat is in unbelievable condition.

I had some Mother's VLR (vinyl, leather, rubber in a red bottle) stuff I had used on my other boat. I put that on the upholstery. Is there any thing that is better for the upholstery?

For the vinyl, I use 303 Protectant. Considered by many, the bench mark in the industry.

Believe it or not, I had great wash/wax performance using Turtle Wax Ice Wash and Wax. I used it all summer at the boatel, and the boat always looked amazing even with the hard water at the marina. Cheap to buy, easy to use. I washed the boat every single time coming back in, and I probably used about a third of a bottle over seven months.
