We are getting black specks, sort of look like mold on the back and top of the rear seats of our 2006 300 Dancer. Tried vinyl cleaner and clorox cleanup, but still there. Any ideas on how to clean this up?

Lighter fluid
Here we go again...lolLighter fluid
acetone is a no no on vinyl.
seriously, lighter fluid works great on vinyl and canvas.
I take it this is an area that doesn't get much sun in your boat (either cockpit cover or it's a dark area under the camper canvas)?
Try using a clean, white cloth that is dampened in a solution of water:bleach at about 4:1. Lay it on the affected area for a few minutes and see what happens. Sometimes just letting it in the bright sun for a few days can help, too.
I think it was probably Turtle who first informed me about lighter fluid. The active (or at least one of them) ingredient in lighter fluid is Naptha (available at places like Home Depot). I've used Naptha COUNTLESS times on vinyl. Literally hundreds. Naphtha is perfectly safe for vinyl. I've never tried lighter fluid, but assuming it's basically naphtha, there would be nothing to worry about. I just wanted to add that info to lend credence to Turtle's recommendation. Although, I can understand why some may be apprehensive about using fire-starting chemicals on their boat! :smt001
