stained seats
 

I trashed my driver seat last night out testing. I had a black magic marker in my pocket and ink bleed all over my new seat . I have tried everything from laquor thinner to a steam cleaner. I'm so pissed off I recked my seat. Any ideas how to get this stain out? :(

Put a sticker over it.

that's what some of the guys in the shop said . others said f... it, its a race boat.

when you get a chance just have a upholstery guy do the seat....usally the seat cushion comes out and take it to him.....

If it is a Sharpie try using isopropyl or ethyl alcohol.

Or you could try some 151 rum :cool-smiley-027:

Pat,
Summit sells a Vinyl Paint that works pretty good. It may be the least expesive alternative.
Thanks again for offering to fix my headers-I just picked them up yesterday from a local welder. See you in Ocean City!

Try hair spray.

Was it maybe "Blackish Brown" ???

Are your sure it was the Marker.......

Maybe it from something else??? (Pucker Factor??) :eek:

spray lysol air freshner on it in the old days we used it to change the stamped price on can foods good luck

My wife did that on my Scarab seats and it worked great! You can still see the Permeant Marker but it cleaned up 80% of it.

Someone said WD40 works too but I never tried it.

Mr clean magic eraser

Mr. Clean Majic Eraser and Swipes. Works GREAT!

with a lil fantastic...theres also a spray ya can get from a pool supply place for the white vinyl around pools works awesome

Pat,
Take Spray Nine cleaner and mix it with simple green and scrub the crap out of it. Once the vinyl dries it will look a little dried out and then use a rag with armorall and lightly rub it in so that it restores the oils back into the fabric.

Pat, Have your throttle man put a marker in his pocket and after testing the seats should match. Hows this, I just get done paying a guy for a whole new interior in my executioner, turnaround and the kid in the marina jumps in the boat with a screw driver in his pocket and rips the feakin crap out of it. I called a guy and hey came with this patch kit and fixed it to where if you didnt know where it was you wouldn't find it. Try the vinyl paint it works. Louie

Maybe that worked with the stain Bruce made you leave, but marker is tougher to get out than chit:eek:

Ouch!! LOL

I've used acetone with amazing results.be sure to use armor all after cause it will tend to dry up the vinyl.It could even take the color off the vinyl so use with caution.

This is a little Far fetched but you would be amazed what "toothpaste" takes off, I never tried it on Vinyl but I dont believe it would hurt to try. The grittier the better kinda like Lava soap. I also talked to my Upholsterer, and he said try mineral Spirits. SPOT TRY FIRST in INCONSPICUOUS AREA. as long as it doesnt change the color of the vinyl, Dab onto Tissue paper and BLOT on the marker. This will eat at the marker and actually melt it. Good Luck!
