I bought some magic erasers to try. Asboslutely amazing. Told the wife the only time I remember something working that good was years ago on my first boat. I used "bleach white" the white wall tire cleaner. Lasted about another season then the vinyl fell apart. Not good on vinyl I guess :eek:
I'll be really interested in what you find out Downtown42. I'd love to keep using these suckers! BT |
I have silver carbon fiber. Any suggestions with this color and texture?

2 years ago I cleaned some seats with bleach white (cut 50%with water) and a medium brush. Worked my AZZ off scrubbing everything. A couple days later I was told to try the Magic Erasers......you could see where I left off when I stopped 1/2 way through. Use small amounts of cleaner along with the Erasers, Spray 9 cut significantly or even Windex cleaners will help the Erasers clean even more quickly. I will use nothing else on my vinyl from now on!!!!!

no doubt from the brothers, Magic is the cats a$$. I get nervous using a product for showers and ceramic tile and nothing mentions vinyl in the applications.
I just don't want my seats crumbling in 5 yrs. |
I knew it!!! Just got the reply back from Procter and G and the tech said continued use will eventually disolve the seats right down to the springs. Have fun dummies!!!

you all fall for anything :evilb:
ok here is reply.... --------------------------------------------------------------- Response (RightNow Administrator) - 04/11/2007 12:58 PM It's good to hear from you. The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser can be used on virtually all surfaces found in your household, including: walls, floors, doors, appliances, etc. It is ok for vinyl, but use light pressure. If it has a shiny finish, it may remove the finish if scrubbing hard. I hope this helps! Mr. Clean TeamCustomer - 04/10/2007 12:21 PM For technical support re: Mr Clean Magic Eraser. Alot of people use your product to clean vinyl seats on a boat. Do you know of any harmful effects that could damage vinyl if used over time? Thank you, Dave http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...s/laughing.jpg I'll be in the Magic Club this weekend! tnks for the info. |

As will I! Thanks everyone! I have tried everything. Looks like this is the answer! |
Dave, don't use it on your leather cabin seatings. The erasers will remove the white dye, easily.

ok. tnks

Here's 2 pics of a spot I left untouched...I'm embarrassed how dirty the boat was...Magic Eraser:cool:

Thanks DT42, that is the answer I wanted to see about the magic erasers. Those things even took off a slight yellow water line from last fall. Amazing!
BT :cool: |
Yep, they are great.
Just wanted to share a word of caution about SoftScrub w/ Bleach. Although I loved the results, after using it for sometime here and there I could tell it was beginning to dry out the seats. The worst part was (this was in a Doral years ago) that some of the cleaner got between the seat being cleaned and the gel coat support for it underneath. I guess I didn't spray it off in time and it caused large blisters in the gel coat that never went away. Luckily this was hidden by the seat but everytime I opened the seat they were there. Just a tip so someone doesn't make the same mistake I made. I have been using West Marine vinyl cleaner applied to Magic Erasers and then following up with 303. The seats look new still (this is in a Baja that is not quite 2 years old - 380 hrs and continuous use in the sun and saltwater of SW FL). |

I called Stephanie McLeod at McLeod Interiors and she said do not use the Magic erasers.it was bad for the vinyl. I guess it strips the vinyl? She/Mcleod recommended Boi_Kleen products.I ordered some for the hell of it just to try to see if it will clean as good as the Magic erasers,Will see:eek: The magic erasers sure work good though:drink: |

SOAK it with Simple green for 15-20 min or so. Then scrub with a soft bristle brush thoroughly and wipe off. Spray again, wipe again, it will look showroom and you won't have to worry about a caustic cleaner to boot! It works!
Mr Clean Magic erasers used with full strength simple Green. It WILL look like new, hands down, no question, period, end of story!!! |

Simple Green is caustic! Loaded with alkalides. Don't believe me, use it bare handed for about 10-15 minutes, it will burn your skin and peel off in about 4 days. take a batch of it and dump it on your grass(nothing will grow there again, nothing). It will eat the powder coating off anything, let a part soak in full strength for two weeks. Pull the part out = bare metal. Now think what it is going to do the thread that is stiched into your vinyl. I've used it for 8 years on the same vinyl, still showroom new, no caustic effects whatsoever. I also use it to detail leather and vinyl in cars and again, no problem. |

I'll be Magic'ing in a few hours.
that damn Mr Clean |
I just finished using the Magic Erasers (never heard of them until this thread). Man they work good! Then I sealed the vinyl with Vinylex Protectant.
My vinyl looks absolutely brand new! Great thread! |
BIO-KLEEN are some the best products I have seen that are recommended not only from McLeod Interiors but from Formula as well ! I have used there Amazing Vinyl Cleaner, Amazing Vinyl Armor and there Polish & Sealant recommended by Art Of Design also. All with very good results. Ph.1-800-240-5536 Propwash:D
