Roll off and Magic Eraser. Make sure you try it somewhere out of the way first so that if it changes color or anything it will not be seen.

What about stains on white vinyl? I've got some stains that look like rust filled water dried on the seats. Any suggestions? I've tried the 303 and it hasn't worked.

Any time you use spray nine on the vinyl, wash it down with water, dry it out the best you can and wipe it down with low oder mineral spirits then go back over with a dry cloth. You can also use bleach diluted. Spray nine and bleach removes the natural oil from the vinyl.

Fountain of Youth products work great. Hit the instructions tab and they have some videos demoing some of their products.
