Default Purchase Swipes upholstery cleaners

I recently saw a UTube video about Swipes cleaning wipes for vinyl upholstery. Where do I purchase them. Sounds like just what I am looking for!

Yep, wish they were as easy to find as they used to be. After some googling I managed to buy a few containers a couple of years ago. I wonder if he'll still do customized labels?

I usually buy a case and then some early each season. They make great gifts too for your favorite mechanic or other similar favor supplier.
If you get on Danny's mailing list, he usually has free shipping promos several times a year.

I don't think he markets the smaller thermos sized container of Swipes anymore, but I keep one of those tubes in each car/truck. They work great for getting gasoline off your hands and the like. When a big container gets down to about 1/3 left, I'll pull what's left out and stick them in the smaller tube. Just yesterday, in the rain, I scrored a big glob of grease that flew off of a truck and landed on the windshield of my car. The wipers hit it and made a GIGANTIC mess. I would have been up a creek sans having Swipes in the car.

If you are "attached" to your custom labels from back in the day, just save the old container and refill. Old containers will eventually crack on the bottom so watch out for this because all the Swipes will dry out.

The empty containers also work great for holding under your oil filters and fuel/water separators so as to not spill contents in the bilge.

Yes, I am a huge Swipes fan.

Thanks to all for the info. My problem is that when I uncover the boat after sitting there for a whole winter, there is a sort of tan colored dirt on the tops and fronts of the seat backs. I am now thinking that this may be a problem caused by me washing off the dirty stains with lake water, which leaves some sort of impurity which grows, blooms or ? during the covered time.

I'm thinking that the swipes in addition to what looks like great cleaning performance will also prevent the winter staining problem. Can't wait for them to arrive !

Seriously? Thinking about buying some for our boat club to hand out at the yearly banquit. Would be nice to get the club logo on there. Last ones I ordered came in plain white containers. Not a big deal to me though.
