Best Vinyl cleaner to get little stains out.

[Lextacy03]

I have a few very light stains on a few of my seats. Hard to tell , but I know .

What have you guys used.

A light rubbing with magic eraser than vinyl conditioner. Than let set in the sun.

The hot sun on white vinyl is the best cleaner.
My daughters new RED swimsuit bled pink all over the place. It was EVERWHERE. I tried everything to no avail. I was pretty bummed. But a couple of times out in the sun - the pink is completely gone.

That is true. If you want to try Babe's Seat Soap we found that it would take out stains that Vinyl Sauce would not.

I hate leaving my boat uncovered in the sun, but it does work to get rid of some stains. Of course, used too much, the sun will also just get rid of the interior of your boat altogether!

Was just introduced to this product from a coworker big into boating. I have (until tomorrow, finally sold) an '83 Searay which had it's fair share of stains that I tried everything to get off and nothing worked very well. Tried this stuff yesterday and it worked amazing!! HIGHLY recommend you try it, word of warning though wear old clothes and don't get this on the carpeting.

Spray 9 marine with a scrub brush works really well for me. If that doesnt work a very diluted mixture of vinegar and water. 3M also makes a marine vinyl cleaner that works just as well if not better than the Spray 9.

I agree that the sun does help but it takes some time. I used a magic eraser on the non white surfaces and it discolored it, so I wont be using that on anything but white areas.

Just a little tidbit: You can make this same thing up at home. Take some normal household bleach. Please note first not all bleach is the same. Look at the "ACTIVE" ingredients on the label, and see "SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE" (ie, bleach). If it doesn't say 8.25%, you got cheated. Get some good Clorox from Sams, WalMart, Home Depot, Costco, BJ's .......... You'll see their's IS 8.25% SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE.
Mix it 1 part BLEACH to 10 parts water. SHAKE and pour into any spray bottle. Effect works BEST if you have STRONG direct sunlight .
NOTE ! FIRST ! - Please remove any on-board snap-in carpeting before using this. Rinse well after 4 or so hours.
Enjoy all of your mildew being gone and the money you just saved.

The magic eraser works pretty good for smooth surfaces. For the vinyl seats that have holes use Spray 9 and a brush. That stuff is great! I also use this on the carpet and it works well.

I have all sorts of cleaners in my boat tote...I use several 303 products, the UV protectant, the fabric guard and the multi purpose cleaner - it works well on vinyl. I love Magic Erasers, but sometimes they can be too aggressive.

I always try to use the least abrasive product/method first...I can always rub harder, but I can't un-rub!

I am certain there is a very inappropriate response to this. I am very frustrated that I can't think of it. So we will just go with: that is what she said.
