    For a deep clean once a year Dawn and then I keep a variety of concentrations of Totally Awesome from about 5:1 to 1:1 for anything left behind, the key is a good soft brush. After each time out I use Boat Bling Vinyl Sauce to wipe down and then recently switched from Babes to 303 for a follow up and love it. Prolly will switch from Boat Bling to Dawn for daily wipe downs too when I run out next.

      Christine's Marine recommends dawn on the Vinyl. I also second the use of a brush. Works much better then a towel to get into the vinyl.

      Dawn is also great for the carpet.

      Personally I use 303 to regularly wipe down then something stronger (dawn or totally awesome) at the start and end of the season to clean things.


      Never heard of using Dawn. I might have to try that. I use Condition Sauce.

        Condition Sauce will protect your interior. Dawn is for deeper cleaning. I wouldn't switch one for the other.

        Condition Sauce would be used instead of the 303. They can be used for daily wipe downs then use Dawn for a deeper clean when needed.

          So what's the process w using Dawn? Scrub w a bucket of warm soapy water--then get out the garden hose and completely rinse off the seats and the entire interior (including the floor) and right out the drain hole?

              Pretty much. Dawn is great for carpet too.

              Or you could skip the hose down and just wipe the seats down with a towel and a bucket of fresh water. You really only need to do this when the vinyl is starting to look dirty.

                I have been using Dawn mixed with water in spray bottle for years to spray and wipe down my interior. That was until this year when someone gave me a large bottle of Boat Bling Vinyl sauce. I was complete amazed at how well this cleaned the vinyl. I used on both my pontoon and SAN 210 this weekend. The one big advantage for Dawn is that it is really cheap.

                  I keep my boat on a lift so I needed something 'lake safe'. I have used Simple Green in varying concentrations since 2004. I did NOT use 303 or other protectant on it often as I have seen yellowing from some protectants. Here is my (well used to be mine) 2004 that was never off the lake. https://flic.kr/p/UifDnH

                    You can clean it with vacuum or dust blower.
