sunblock stain
 
I hope there is a way to get the orange sunblock stain out of my white vinyl. So far vinyl cleaner and black streak remover haven't touched it. Please help! Thanks in advance for any advice.

Go to a dollar store that sells "LA's Totally Awesome" multi purpose cleaner. It works great on everything and it's cheap!! A few girls that wear some crazy sun tanning oil from Maui left brown/orange stains all over my seats, the crap smells like coffee when the put it on. It came right off by just spraying it on and wiping it off with a rag. I get mine from Dollar General, try them if you have any over by you.

I have some sunscreen staining on my front bolsters and nothing I have tried will take it out. I have tried the Totally Awesome cleaner and it didn't take the stain out either.

That sucks, have you tried toothpaste? I wipe down and clean out the interior after every time out so it didn't get a chance to really get baked in by the sun.

Mine is definately set in. I made the mistake of not doing a real good cleaning before last winter. It was not showing any signs of staining at that time. In the Spring, I noticed it and nothing would take out the discoloration. Usually bleach and sun will take out any stain that I have had before, but not this one.
