Lacquer Thinner on the vinyl and straight bleach on the threads. After clean wipe it down with a little WD40 or suntan lotion on a rag. :daz:

JUST JOKING!!!!!!

Use spray nine or spray some Bleach White on a damp rung out rag. A little more for bad stains. (Bleach White works better). Then 3M Aerospace 303 vinyl protectant with 40 spf sun block. I keep a bottle on and rag on the boat and re-apply during the day while out.

Magic eraser --- cheap simple -- and really work, armorall after to keep moist -- just once in the spring- or it gets too slippery.

On really tough areas 80 grit sand paper will do the trick... J/K

I use simple green as a normal wipe down cleaner. I like the way it smells:crazy: On tougher spots I use Roll Off, then rinse with water.

The magic eraser scares me. I used it on some tennis shoes and over time after repeated use the color disappeard from the shoes..... I would just use it if there was a stubborn stain.

I use Attwood or Starbrights (same stuff but sold under Attwood name at Walmart) deck cleaner with a Magic Eraser. Mine is a fishing boat that sees far worse stains than most of your boats. The deck cleaner is some good stuff. It smells like it has ammonia in it. Also great for cleaning the wheels on my car :)

I really like the Leverage Vinyl cleaner used with the magic eraser. I took out some ink stains I had.

303 Aero space protectant has the 40 spf sun block in it (Armor all does not) and is made for marine sun exposer applications. Plus, it is not slippery. If you want to save a few $ now and have faded material in 4-5 years,...? I'm sure youll make the right choice.
