What is the best thing to use to clean the vinyl interior?

Fantastic and a medium bristled brush, I use a toothbrush, or Mr Clean Magic Erasers also work wonders. And then always remember to follow up with some 303 protectant.

At least that's how I've gotten the best result.

What's your feeling on McGuiars's Rubber and Vinyle cleaner? That's what my dealer recommended. I was about to run out an buy some for my first cleaning.

Magic Erasers are by far the best thing I have found.

I third Magic Erasers. Use some mild soap and water. Works wonders.

Correct Craft only recommends Fantastic. That's because that product specifically will not strip the top protective coat from the vinyl. I am not sure about the Magic Erasers, but I have heard that they work very well on removing things that will not otherwise come off.

Count Me in for the Magic Erasers. My wife tryed them last season and was WOWWED by how well they work. However they are so small, you will need a good box or two to do a whole boat interior.

What are peoples take on 3m Vinyl cleaner and restorer?

magic erasers work awesome!!!! those little thing rock! fantastik imo doesn't do much at all. skip the fantastik, go buy your self a bunch of the magic erasers and get to work! as you can tell i love these things. i cleaned every seat in my boat, which took about 30+ hrs, and about 25-30 erasers, but they all look brand new! it was well worth the time money and sweat...also get yourself a few pairs of latex gloves so your fingers dont end up bleeding like mine did!

30 hours? Wow, I can take my whole interior apart and scrub it all down and have it all put back in in under 15 hours. Fantastic in my experience works better then the magic erasers.

I will quadruple magic erasers, although I got some generic, Miracle Clean Cleaning pads versions for like half price. The terrible thing about it is once you get started with them, you best have all day. Because they do such a great job, that you have to do the whole boat, otherwise the unscrubbed area's look bad. I won't use anything else anymore.

magic erasers are pretty good,if it is real BAD..But be careful around the threads.it can cause them to rot......I use just a little soap and water..then wipe it down good..let dry awhile,,,then put Mcquiars Rubber & Vinyl Cleaner on..it gives it a good Shine..and its not Slick.....plus the water runs off of it quick...If you have some real Bad places thats hard to get clean,,try a little Go-Jo hand cleaner..that works wonders.........
