I'm sure everyone has their favorites but I like the bio-kleen products. Especially the vinyl cleaner, I buy it by the gallon.

Starbrite vinyl shampoo and 303 protectant. Most marine stores have these.

BioKleen! Haven't found anything better. And seriously. These guys that use Magic Erasers all the time are going to be pissed in a few years. Those things are so abrasive, and will destroy the surface of the vinyl.

i dont use magic eraser all the time. Only once in a great while when it needs a real good cleaning. after that i just use some regular cleaner and follow with 303.

3M makes an excellent vinyl cleaner/conditioner/protectant. I used it exclusively on my old 84 Chaparral. 29 years old and the original vinyl still looked pretty good. Academy is the only place I know that sells it.

I like Totally Awesome cleaner, found at the Dollar Store. , Yes, it's a buck for a 32oz bottle, strong enough to clean well but mild enough not to cause damage. Been using it for a few years now on my boats and dirt bikes. +1 for the 303 protectant. Nothing better.

I told my wife, no more Magic Eraser on vinyl. After doing a little research, it is actually a very fine sanding product. Look it up, and if you do buy it, don't buy the name brand - you can d*mn near get a truckload of it for nothing.

We're using Huba Huba now.
