Got the boat ready to go this past weekend. Pulled her out of storage and started scrubbing. Wifey brought out a Magic Eraser (must have when you have a 2 year old in the house). GOOD GOD! It's incredible. Every scuff came right out. You know the little ones that get left when the cover rubs. Or when you drop your bimini pole on the gell coat. Got rid of the scuffs in the interior vinyl as well. Am I the only that's used one of these to clean their boat. I've never read about anyone else on here using one. Two thumbs WAY up!

They are the best, I use them everywhere. Interior, rub rail, gel coat etc. I have found nothing better.

They are mentioned here several times, during "interior detailing"-type threads. Or "cleaning vinyl". That type of stuff.
I bought a pack of them, but haven't tried yet. Glad to hear they work for you too.

It works great on almost anything. Only problem is , the small pad falling apart pretty fast .
Another product is Vim with bleach . Made my upholstery look nearly new with little effort, unlike the marine vinyl cleaners you try scrubbing for days to get results !

When all else fails, I use a Magic Eraser. It works great on everything.

I usually have 2 boxes on hand for that reason. They work great, but I have to pull the seat bottoms back off a vacuum up the little pieces when I'm done.

Think of all the boats that would disappear from the Channel on a big weekend. Couple the Magic Eraser with some DCB Eraser and there will be lots of room!!! :D :D :D

I've used them...pretty amazing.
Don't use them on your baseboards unless you plan on doing the whole house.
It's hard to find something they won't clean.

We keep a box of them on the boat! But they only work best if the wife does the cleaning. :D

Do you have to use them with water when used on seats?

I used Boat Bling vinyl sauce and the magic eraser on the boat vinyl.
It make the vinyl white enough to blind someone.:D

Best thing I ever used. I use it on the bass boat and on the jet it will also remove dirt out of scratches, scuff marks on your boat. Never go to thr river without it.

I use the Magic Eraser to clean just about everything, just finished my interior. I've found that it loves to clean hand prints on walls the best.. Truely a great product...

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
You can buy it at any grocery store, it comes with an 18 pack of beer.
At least that's what I tell the missus.
Works very well on stained vinyl.

They work great on the interior, but I wouldn't reccomend using them on shiny gel.

We use it on the vinyl. I also use it on the trim on my car for scuffs and stuff. Don't use it on the paint in the house though. Takes it right off!

I use them everywhere also. Makes the rub rails look brand new again.
It is hard to find them in some kind of quantity packaging though....Anybody know where?

I have only seen them in the two-pack. If Costco would start carrying them, who knows how many would come in a package. A nice block of 12 would be cool, eh?
