After reviewing multiple threads I decided to try Star brite and 303. SB worked well - I had a really tough stain that is now nearly invisible, and some mold which is gone. However, I must have bought the wrong type 303: Marine Fabric guard. The directions clearly state no vinyl, which I'm guessing is exactly what the seat cushions are made of. What type of 303 are folks using on the 'pleather' found on a 21SPX? 30382 UV Protectant for vinyl, rubber, plastic....? Don't want to waste money on the wrong type again, though I suppose I could use the Fabric stuff on the Sunbrella.


Thanks!

Fabric Guard is for Sunbrella - or similar. 303 Aerospace Protectant is what you want.
 
One has a blue label and one has a green label.

Thanks! Figures it the most expensive - it for things that fly and float!

Well, there's a "Marine" version of the Aerospace protectant too. That's probably 15% more expensive.

The stuff goes pretty far so you'll likely have the single bottle for year. Compared to needing 2-3 quart-size bottles of fabric protectant for a bimini and camper.
 
I use the 303 Marine Protectant, probably a couple of gallons annually. I go over my vinyl at least once every two weeks - to clean, but just as importantly - it keeps the material fresh and pliable. It's good insurance in keeping your vinyl healthy, and especially hit the stitching as that's usually where the first problems arise...
