this is the correct way if you don't want pitting of your interior and a softer material....:D

[Ntwotrance]

also if you having serious staining on your white seats, and if the softscrub doesn't work, use simple green. don't let it stay on to long and make sure to use a conditioner right after or it will (like all other cleaners) start to deteriorate the material....

[Debbolas]

We use the Frenzy Products. There is an orange cleaner we dab directly on and scrub with a brush. I mix Simple Green with water and wash the seats this way. Then I seal them with the vinyl silicone sealer. Works Great! :D

depending on the dityness simole green either diluted or straight.then go over with 303 protectant when done

Thanks to all the responses, we are going this coming weekend and I want the seats to be blindingly clean, (if there is such a word) were so bright you gotta wear shades...

You can get it on Ski Limited and Barts too. It is the sh*t for protecting vinyl...

An old favorite that works awesome...Plain ol' Fantastic (Not 409)cleaner spray is the shiznit! Cleans it spotless. Then follow up with the 303!

Problem with either 409 or Fantastic is that they can affect the color in some vinyls. I'd be careful about using them, test them on a spot of vinyl where it is hidden from view.

I agree on testing! I alway test any cleaner I use in the boat, car, or home prior to doing the whole job. I learned the hard way several years ago on my home sofa. :eek:
I've used Fantastic with a soft scrub brush for years on many different boat interiors. The last five or so I learned about the 303 and always follow up with that to put the essential oils and protectants back into the vinyl. Too bad that crap is so expensive!

No; they don't stock it at Home Depot....You can either get from them directly, or I have found it at most Marine Shops around Havasu and even at Half Track or Kelly's in Parker....I was turned on to it when Ron's Custom Detail gave me a couple cans one time I had my boat done there, and have never used anything else....listening to most...it sounds like they use a cleaner and then protector or more harsh cleaners...this stuff is spray out of can (not pump spray) and so it foams up and spreads really easy, and it cleans and conditions in one application....it works better than anything I have tried and I have tried a ton, plus you cannot beat the 1 step application...no tough rubbing either..

I tried that new Oxy clean stuff from Armor all......it's magic! I don't know what it is the kids sunscreen or what but sometimes it looks like I had mechanics sitting in the boat. Gets like grey smudges. Does any one find that when using protectorant the vinyl gets dirtier faster?

Not with 303, I did with other protectants... 303 doesn't leave a greasy film...

That's my method. 303 is made by 3M.

Same method I used to use...

[Mr.Havasu]

There are several cleaners that all work well!
Use a soft bristol brush to get in all the poures. AND ALWAYS CONDITION AFTERWARDS!
We sell some great products on our web site (link below on our signature)

I also have white interior. I got some greese on mine and couldn't get it out. I went the the shop that upholstered it and the lady had a bottle with liquid in it. She tipped some out on a rag and then wiped the interior clean. Believe it or not- it was gasoline. She said don't squirt the vinyl. Squirt the rag then wipe the vinyl. It came clean and it didn't leave any smell. Then after she clean it and I got it home I wiped it all down with McQuires Vinyl shine. It left it shiny with a good smell. Hope that helps!:)
