Interior cleaning
 

Looking for the best way to clean up the interior of a boat I just bought. Looks like it has a little mold on the vinyl. The interior is white mostly. The boat is a baja 30'. Thanks guys.......

Do a search. This has been discussed many times. Lots of opinions.

Simple green and a Magic Eraser. Lightly scrub as if you were polishing the vinyl. Then sponge off with warm water. Finish up with your favorite protect ant and you will be amazed.

First time i tried Magic Eraser I couldn`t believe my eyes and kicked myself for not trying it sooner..
ended up doing the whole interior while the wife went and got more boxes of Magic Eraser.. its an amazing difference!!

I use a magic eraser soaked with a mild degreaser and it works great every time. Works great for the floor of the boat too!!!

magic eraser great cheap product

Thanks guys, ill pick some up tommorow and try it out. Ill let you know how it worked.

Someone had once mentioned that scrubbing with a magic eraser may be abrasive enough to remove a "UV" coating from vinyl. I'm not very knowledgeble regarding the composition or makeup of vinyl, but is there indeed a UV blocking layer on most marine vinyl or is this just BS? I'd hate to go over my interior only to have it come apart in a year.

The UV properties of plastics (including vinyl) are chemicals added to the product during production (ie, mixed in) rather than a coating on top. You can apply more as a coating, but that's going to wear off anyway.

for deep in dirt I use LAVA soap with simple green or for general cleaning I use magic eraser
