Interior cleaning

[Polidori]

I attended a new boat owner seminar at a Nautique dealer in Austin, TX a few years ago and they swear by Star Brite Mildew and Stain Remover and Z Care LVP Marine. These are the only two vinyl cleaning products I use. Let the sun bake the Star Brite and it will remove most mildew with no rubbing or scrubbing. There's alot of bleach in it.

I’ve had good results with https://ztuffproducts.com/collection...ner-collection but not with just a cloth wipe. To get real results, use a DA Polisher fitted with an upholstery brush.

i can’t recall the brush, but it may have been from chemical guys or similar detail retailer.

I'm dealing with the same issue, just on one seat... lots of rain this year. I bought some Starke Mildew Cleaner, worked pretty good but still have some spots... try what's suggested above?

I tried the entire spectrum and it depends on your interest and overall boat condition.
-sprays and strong chemicals will certainly work on lighter non stained stuff
-DONT use magic eraser much - its actually sanding off the surface of vinyl / gelcoat - will leave a stripped bare surface
-I bought a mculloch steam cleaner - its the best option deep cleans - no chemicals (great for cars/house/pets too) - but hard steaming and bushes wont remove stains 100%
-if you LOVE your boat and want to invest - work to replace trashed skins w C&S Upholstery- they are expensive but their work is AMAZING

I invested in full C&S skins/ snap carpet / seadek kit (transom+steps) and I got my money back out when I sold the boat. I even brought in a new accent color (boat was all white).


Of course good luck w seats you have - I'd say go easy w steam but know if they are old seats - theyll never look NEW.

We are getting the first weekend since the original post that doesn't have rain in the forecast. 80's and sunny.

I bought some spray nine and gonna give it a try.

Thanks NOTTEAK for sending us that weather our direction this weekend, hoping to see that here without the wind.

Looks beautiful here in MN, too. Unfortunately, Jr. has baseball tournaments this weekend and next weekend, and yours truly is coaching. Is it bad to hope for an early exit from the tournaments?

[NOTTEAK]

Well… I'd say I found the winner!

Thank you all for your input and knowledge!!!!

Looks like I have some work to do!

When you're done with the cleaning you'll need to protect the vinyl with a good UV protectant. I like 303 Aerospace. I haven't found anything any better.

I already use that on my jet boat. A buddy of mine got me hooked.

I use chemical guys on the Nautique. Because it's cheaper and I seem to go through it a lot faster. The ski boat gets more use then jet boat.

We use la's totally awesome. You can get it at the dollar store. You dilute it and put in a spray bottle. Spray on wipe off

I picked up an OG 210 SAN and the interior was pretty bad. I used

Malco Leather Cleaner - be sure to rinse after scrubbing.
Ninja Scrub (lighter than magic eraser)

I actually thought Malco stopped producing their product. That was a go to way back in the early 2000’s. Kinda fell
of the map in the teens. Its was strong stuff back then.
