Cleaning white vinyl

[Boat Crazy]

@MutherTucker ..I use NU FINISH wax twice a year (easy on/easy off) and boat bling in between. I also use ICE spray on wax and detailer spray. There are many out there that work great. These are just a few. Obviously what you used worked great. The interior looks fantastic.

Have them throw a blanket, sheet, or towel on the seats next time. I use the bling products and they work well.

I take it one step further....take out all of your gear AND your seat cushions! Mechanics know how to get dirty they don't understand cleanliness, same with chefs.

I wondered if I should take my seats out for the winter when I store the boat? I just feel like those areas never get a chance to breath....any thoughts on that?

If you've got room to store them....go for it. I always store my boat with all seats ajar to allow airflow.

Is the simple green safe to use on the colored parts of the seats?

I just bought boat bling wax that is a newer product. I plan on using it tomorrow in preparation to put the boat in storage for the winter. The detail spray works great on black but I have not had as much luck with the vinyl cleaner. It is also really pricy.

Yes, it's safe on colors.

I am surprised there aren't more votes for 303 Aerospace Protectant. I don't think you can do much better for the long term. It's technically not a cleaner, but I have learnt that many use it to saturate stained areas and most stuff comes off.
I don't think I will ever use anything else on my boat interior, especially vinyl. But also rubber, plastic, trim, gelcoat, electric cables, you name it (but glass). Granted, it doesn't give you that "wow!" kind of effect you get with some cleaners, but it protects long term from cracking and dirt better than just about anything.
