I've got a number of water stains in the overhead of my '91 Sundancer...I've had it moisture checked around the hatches, and all seems okay. Any ideas how to make the overhead look new...baring replacing?

If it's cloth a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide, sprayed on liberally and left to dry over a couple of days will make it disappear. If it is very dark you may need to reapply.
Travis,
Just allow it to dry on it's own. It will continue to lighten the stain for a couple of days. I had water stains from the anchor locker that the spray cleaned up completely.
I have a few water stains on the original headliner in my '89 390 EC. I put the 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol & hydrogen peroxide. together and applied it. Waited an hour and noticed that it was dry. I sprayed another round on it just before I left the boat just before dark. I will report my results. Today is Saturday March. 21, 2009.
Any updates? I just did the same thing so we'll see how it works.
I did not notice any real difference after 3 days. I might try it again but so far I feel like I "waved a baloon in the air".:huh:
UPDATE ON STAINS IN OVERHEAD...
I've been working my ... off over the past few days, trying to take 15 yr old water stains from our overhead...I've FINALLY got it right....we've used a commercial steam cleaner with SIMPLE GREEN and a light schub brush...try it-you'll like it!
when you said commerial steam cleaner - was that something you rented? Is it similar to a carpet cleaning machine? I've got to do something about my aft cabin it looks terrible. Gives you nightmares. Thanks Don
Thanks Doug, got it now, lets see 5 min for a couple of snap stains x the stains on my boat = long weekend plus-- see pic thanks again
