Default Stain on vinyl

I got a finger print on my new cf vinyl during the Miami Run in Feb. and I cannot get it out. I don't know what it is but i have done everything I know of and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If magic eraser does not take it out. You can try Acetone. You just have to be careful. Get a small area of a towel wet and dab at the stain.

acetone is scarey, you get about one wipe before it eats it. I have cleaned some nasty stained white vinyl this way and had good results...

use one of those sponges with the green scrubbey scotch bright stuff..

1. pour laquer thinner on a damp scrubber sponge and scrub
2 next use soft scrub with the scrubber sponge
3. rinse well and then wipe down with 303

Wesley's Bleach White (white wall clear) has gotten some nasty stuff out for me in the past. At least you have some ideas now.

Thanks guys. I have tried bleach white, soft scrub, magic eraser and simple green with no luck. I was told by a friend to use vinagar and water. I do have a sample of the vinyl I can try things on before I screw up the real thing.

I tried that once after some dumb c#*%t fell in my boat walking across the boats to the bar in black heels, brand new Sunsation. Acetone melts vinyl. Not a good choice...

If the magic eraser or Soft scub doesn't touch it I don't know what will...

I wasn't there. My crew came and got me within a few min. Her douche bag man almost hit the water then the managers escorted them all out.

Try WD-40 then wipe clean with a cloth soaked with dish soap and water on it or try Spray Nine and once again wipe clean with a damp cloth soaked with dish soap and water.
