    White upholstery

    Hey everybody, So...... After spending countless hours of comepletely unbolting every piece of upholstery on my 2005 206 to do a major clean up of the vinyl, (white with wineberry/onyx black accents) I started reassembling the boat figuring I start at the bow cushions and work my way thru the boat. Taking my time so as to not get them dirty again after the boat being stored for 12 years.The boat looked beautiful
    I finished for the night and put the cover back on and when I pulled the boat out of the boat house after a couple days to continue on I noticed that the bow cushions had 3 0r 4 orange blemishes on them. Now each one of these skins took me at least 6 hours to clean up so I know they weren't there. The problem is I cannot get them to come out. They look like orange bug or spider poop. Unfortunately these skins were cleaned with degreaser, mold remover, and at the end Spray 9 to get them back to looking great. I did not put any protectant on them. I was gonna wait till the boat was reassembled befor wiping it down with 303 Is this why these stains won't come out? Does anybody have any tricks to clean the orange bug poop off?

      Try letting the cushions sit in the sunshine. My friends Malibu cushions got stained from his cover and the sun kind of bleached the stains out. Is worth a try.
      Ski on dude!

        That is typically mold that's in the pores of the vinyl and near impossible to get out. Steven has what I was looking to use and Chassmann suggests what I did. I never bought the magic potion but I did leave the boat out in direct sunlight a bunch which seemed to help greatly but never really cured the problem. Unfortunately once you get above 10 years the age of a boat starts to show through.
