I used Bleche White a couple weeks ago on my shaggy vinyl.

I've heard it will eat the threads so I kept it away from the seams, but I wasn't too concerned because I hope to get it redone soon. But as a stop-gap, it worked pretty good and made the white look pretty good compared to how it was.

spray strait bleach on it...let sit 1 min mist with water, then scrub with brush, rinse well..repeat if needed...

I had ink stains on my front seat (ask my daughter how it happened), and they faded out after a few days in the sun. It was permanent ink too.

leaving the top off the boat and it is looking al ittle better. VVery supprised

I tried rubing alcohol the first day.

i would say rubbing alochol or goo gone. Also they have a LIFT OFF at Home Depot its safe for cars, clothes, etc. Try that stuff. I used it on a few things now and works good, wipe it on and let it sit for 60sec then wipe it off.

Do not keep putting chemicals on the stain.....these can actually make it harder to remove. Also, do not scrub with Erasers, etc. as this can damage the outer layer of the vinyl, as someone else previously mentioned.

Wait for the sample.....IT WILL remove the stain.

Now there is some sound advice. Way too many "interior experts" on here trying to give advice on how to clean vinyl. Most are too aggressive and can damage the top surface.

Call Tim at Bio Kleen. He is a chemist and his vinyl cleaner works without destroying your expensive interior.

Do not use any brushes, they are too abrasive. Use contact cement cleaner and rub with a cloth. Rinse with soap and water. Should do the trick unless some of the other chemicals have made the stain set in.

Well after a few days with out a cover, the sun took care of the stuff. then cleaned the rest to make it all match and then put some protectant back on it.

If you have tried all the above, try using mineral spirits. Will put oil back in the vinyl. It will also clean as well. May have to use a little elbow grease to get it to work. Be careful using SPRAY NINE cause it will dry the vinyl out and cause it to crack and using bleack will make the vinyl hard. Good Luck..
