Just yesterday a girl was in my my Searay and when she stood up, the color didn't. That, I can forgive. But the fact that she was eating peanuts and putting the shells in the cuddy area of the bow rider.... I about lost it. This is a frickin' boat, not a baseball stadium !!!!!

Below is from BASF magic eraser PDF.
"Only surfaces liable
to scratching and varnished surfaces should not be
cleaned with the “magician”."

Have you tried them? I used them for at least 5 years with no I'll effects on my vinyl. Looked like new when I sold the boat mines gouges from a cooler. You make it sound like it's 40 grit. By definition a towel can be abrasive.

Note: I only have to clean interior once a year.
Followed by 303 Protectant.
Note #2: I've learned to get the covers on the boat ASAP after we use the boat so the interior doesn't get burnt out.
Note #3: All white vinyl. No other colors.

thanks for all the suggestions I too have always used the magic erasers followed by some type of vinyl conditioner, I may have gone a little overboard on this one attempting to remove the stain but do damage has occurred I just cant stand a dirty boat. I have it down by 50% now I will try a few of the suggestions and then let the sun do the rest jut not sure I have enough trips to the lake yet this year to really get it faded away and it don't want it to sit all winter.
