Vinyl cleaner
 

I recovered my engine hatch with new vinyl from Mcleod. It made the backseat look so dingy I recovered it also. What can I use to safely clean the bolsters with to brighten them up some?

a solution of mild boat soap and warm water with a Mr Clean Magic Eraser works great. People are always looking for a miracle product, this is as close as you will get.

Good luck,
Kenny

We use Magic Erasers by Mr Clean. They say not to use it on vinyl but it works great. Try one and let me know what you think. I was amazed. Just make sure the eraser is wet.

My wife insisted I try Mr Clean Magic Eraser.....Whatever this sponge thing is, it works! I've tried everything i could get my hands & these eraser sponge things work unbelievably well

Try TUFF STUFF...They sell it at all auto parts stores and it the choice of all the car dealers garages. It works great, remember if anyones getting grease all over someones interior it's the dealerships. Its a foam just spray and wipe.

Any grocery store or Walmart with the other household cleaning supplies.

Be careful with anything that is a known "Degreaser" as vinyl is a petroleum product that needs its "Grease" intact.

I use Spray-Nine and it seems to have no negative long-term effects.

Some strong cleaners cause stitching to rot after a time.

I surveyed a Sunseeker once that someone had used a much too harsh cleaner and the damage was extensive to the cockpit vinyl. It was clean, but useless!

BIOKLEEN works great!

3-M product that you can pick at any Walmart that works great is called "Black Streak Remover" about 8 bucks a bottle but removes the bad stuff with out harm.

Thats what I did And thats why we use Fantastic.

Ed, I've heard people complain that Knight's Marine Spray-Nine is corrosive to stitching. Today's threads are synthetics for the most part, so I have no concern about ill effects. I have used it exclusively on six boats over the years with NO ill effects whatsoever on any surface, and it has never failed to clean. If I use alot of spray nine on a particular problem, I wipe after with a chamois wet with FW. I also treat occasionally with 303 as recommended by most marine vinyl manufacturers.

I have also found that my GF's a** and breasts covered in Hawian Tropic, applied liberally to the cockpit vinyl are an effective treatment. :D

I agree with rippem. This is a great way to condition the vinyl.
