Question

What is the best way to clean the vinyl seats on my boat without damaging the vinyl?

Answer 1

simple green works good, for tough stains i like "spray nine" the best i have found so far, alittle pricey but works well

Answer 2

First step is get all the gunk on there off! Use Simple Green ( http://consumer.simplegreen.com/ ). They offer all sorts of products on thier site, but you can also pick up the allpurpose version at any WalMart, Target, and most automotive stores like Auto Zone. Give the seats a good wetting with the Simple Green and let them soak for about 5 mins. Then go back with a cloth or shop towels and rub and spary simultaniously. Then spray the seats down with some water to ensure all the cleaner is removed

Next you can alow the seats to air dry or use a clean towel.

Finnaly use Armorall to add a protectant layer over your newly clean seats!

Answer 3

Some good answers above to be sure. I use Mcguires Marine products for my boat. www.mcguires.com Good stuff!!

Answer 4

Armor All or Son of a Gun.

Answer 5

Armor all.

Answer 6

For ground in dirt use a magic eraser and water.  (I think it is made by Mr. Clean)  Then armor all

Answer 7

Be care full what you use and some with bleach can dry out vinyl. I have been boating for near 40 years and have tried all kinds of cleaners. The best thing lately is a product called Roll-Off. They sell it at Boaters World but I order from AutoGeek.com. It cleans everything safely. When clean the best marine protectant is 303 Aerospace vinyl protectant. It isn't slick like Amorall and has less gloss.

Answer 8

use a vinyl cleaner some other cleaners can damage you seats in the long run  and then follow up with a vinyl protectant it will keep it from sun damage. You should be able to find this at any marine supply store

Answer 9

leather soap and water then armor all
