+1. Works great.

EDIT. Upon further research, it seems that Earth Brite and SheDazzle are the SAME product!

Spray 9, water and a small handheld scrub brush. My new vinyl favorite

This was on a 1987 Sea Ray Seville I detailed for a friend.

Yup, Spray 9 is my new favorite vinyl cleaner too - another one that does a great job - is called "awesome"? or something like that, from Walmart. Never heard of it till this past summer, when I was in the Campground, and all the Rv'ers were talking about it - I helped my fiance's father clean his awning - wow! impressive - and wicked cheap! I used it on mine after, still impressed!

Another vote for spray 9 and soft brush. My seats had that dingy look and some darker spots. Now they are Arctic white! Just remember to rinse thoroughly and apply some protectant like 303 afterwards. I bought a gallon of the stuff on Amazon for $9.50

It’s 30 degrees out but I picked up some LA Awesome Cleaner to give it a shot. I sprayed on, gently rubbed with a kitchen scotchbrite pad and wiped off with a microfiber cloth. I think I’ll do the whole boat before washing with Dawn and trying to buff out the oxidation. I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been done in years before I bought the boat last year.

My upholstery was replaced when I purchased the boat. The shop I used recommended spray nine and 303 for normal maintenance. If the spray nine isn't enough a little acetone is the best spot remover. Followed by washing and 303. My brother in law who is in the detail business recommends a paste of bleach and baking soda with a scrub brush if mold or mildew is in the grain of the vinyl. Again followed by washing and 303.

Mr Clean Magic Eraser but keep it away from the stitching. Flush well then 303 as conditioner and UV protectant.

Magic eraser is a micro abrasive (sandpaper). Reserve it for dire circumstances.
