Alright boys its spring cleaning time for me and a lot of you out there. Every year I try something new on my vinyl to try and bring out that bright white "like new" look. My cockpit interior is getting old and dingy looking but I need to get atleast one or two more seasons out of my interior before I will have to replace it. I have used magic eraser and it proves to work the best but I have also heard it is not very good on the vinyl itself. I know somebody has the magic formula for this!!! Thanks guys!

While I do not know how "good" it is for the interior, I have used the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers for a few years with great results. I haven't seen any damage to the vinyl, but I'm always sure to treat it afterwards with a conditioner as well.

I haven't found anything as good on the vinyl as the Magic Erasers.

My whole interior is white and ive tried everything. What i do now is use Vinly cleaner made by boat brite, its like a cream substance and also rolloff spray cleaner...both available at West marine. I first get the interior a little wet then i spray the rolloff then put the Vinly cleaner on and kinda give a firm wiping, it comes out like new.

I also use the Magic Erasor for the deep clean, once a yr. I just just stay off the threads. Otherwise the 3M Vinly cleaner /conditioner and a soft brush is my preference.
Always finish up with 303 protectant.

Just don't use the erasor in the cabin on your leather.

do you wipe the off the rolloff first? then the boat brite cleaner?

I swear by Soft Scrub. The bleach can be very damaging to the threads. I only use it once a season, rinse, then rinse again. Then I rinse one more time. I do a small section at a time and do not let it sit long. Then I really lather on the 303 protectant afterwards.

Mix about a 4 to 1 solution of water to bleach. Use it and rinse right after. Cleans everything and I have never had any problems with the threads. I have used this on all my boats and it works. Kills any mold or mildew. Check any dark colors first, I only used it on my white vinyl and then use a good vinyl conditioner and buff out.

I like the 3m also

I've had good luck with C-49 from Malco. It's pink in color and Malco calls it "Interior Cleaner" I think...

I use the 3M also, works great if you don't let it get too dirty between cleanings.
