Default McLeod Interior Vinyl Cleaning

Anyone have a proven product for cleaning the McLeod interior vinyls?

They only endorse Bioclean, which is good, but I need something more agressive. But dont want to ruin it or the stitching. It really needs a one real good cleaning and then maintain it with protectant.

Thanks,

Kirk

To get really tuff stuff out, You can't beat a magic eraser and then use 303 protectant.

I use baby wipes. I'm not sure about the erasers anymore. I think they are a little abrasive.

Magic eraser, but be carefull with them. Flush with water and use protectant.

I use the BioKleen, and its awesome! Use it with a scrub brush, and its great. Finish with the BioKleen Vinyl Armor.

But McLeod says
don't use the magic erasers its the worst you can use on vinyl, that it damages it
I bought a Bio clean sample kit from Mcleod, It seemed to mild on some of the stubborn spots. kinda like soap and water.imo. I still use the eracer,I havent seen any damage/side effects out of the 8 years of cleaning my Hustler.

Yeah, a little bristle is not going to hurt anything, but will help tremendously.
