Default vinyl cleaning

I was just wondering what you guys are using for a vinyl cleaner and protector. Something to bring the white out and get the threading clean as well without harming it, thanks!

To get it as white as Possible, just use a good soap & magic erasers, stay away from the threads w/ the eraser & over all use them sparingly.... Make sure to put a good conditioner on after.

just as jmoore says...but I think the best product to use after cleaning is "303 Aerospace Protectant" vinyl conditioner.

there are several threads on this in which you can find out about a lot of different people's methods and products. I have always heard magic erasers are really hard on the vinyl and the threads, but it does def work! I use scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner and rinse it off as soon as I scrub an area, it works really good at getting the bright white as I have tried a lot of different products. 303 Protectant is def the way to go for conditioner. All of this of course IMO. Good Luck!

Magic erasers but not generic ones followed by a wipedown with water and vinyl conditioner.

Another ME vote followed up with 303. BTW, don't think you'll just do a small spot. You will have to do the whole cockpit.

Don't use the ME on the leather in the cabin.

My 2 cents: 3 times a season begining, mid and end. Wash bucket with dawn, spray bottle w 1/2 water 1/2 purple degreaser. And a water hose. Get it wet, spray on degreaser, scrub w soft brush, wash with soapy mit, rinse off. i do the whole cockpit being carefull around dash and speakers. etc. dry with a clean beach towel. and use 303 after its dry. I also use magic erasers between my big cleanings. and keep it soaked in 303.
