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.

Follow the link that By U Boy put up on page one of your thread. It will save you money and the vinyl will look like new again. Have fun!

You Wont Believe What Soft Scrub With Bleach And A Mr Clean Magic Eraser Will Do Excellent Results With Little Effort Make Sure You Dress The Stitching With Armor All Or Something Similar They Will Dry Out And Come Apart If Not!!!

do not use any product with Bleach ( cloride)
vinyl is PVC ( poly vinyl cloride)
a chemist friend told me that bleach breaks down the vinyl. It looks great at first, but will dirty very quickly again, and again because the bleach breaks down the vinyl molecule and opens it up for dirt to get into to pours.
I had used clorox in my first boat and the vinyl looked bleach white ( go figure) to find two weeks later it seemed to be dingy again ( before getting his advice)
I now use 3m Vinyl cleaner and a brush, and no armor all. looks like new vinyl without the car auction detail job look of greasy armor all ( just my preference)
