I just thought I would share the results of having my seat bottoms in the cockpit re-dyed this past WE....the vinyl is in good condition....it was just stained from years of use.....the seat backs are still in good condition.....I tried many different cleaners and cleaning methods but just could not remove the stains.....the PO of my boat did little to maintain the upholstery throughout the boat.....
I forgot to take a 'before' pic of the seat below but it was covered with mold/mildew spots....it resembled 'leopard spots'.....I had three seat bottoms in the cockpit re-dyed.....the two long seats in the aft seating and the double wide passenger front seat (pictured below).....the passenger seat was the worst of the three.....
I used this mobile company to do the work (no affiliation)..... http://www.wecanfixthat.com/
apparently they have many representatives across the nation.....the guy showed up in a van and re-dyed the seats in the parking lot of our marina in just a couple hours.....
the results were excellent....the cost was around what recovering just one seat bottom would have cost...the color of the re-dyed bottoms is a perfect match to the seat backs....i can't speak to longevity yet but he claims the dye should last a very long time.....and he said the mold stains should not come through the dye.....he told me the majority of his work in this area is on boats but he can make many other type repairs to upholstery and carpet.....
please excuse the dirty floor and the clutter....I am in the middle of a major stereo upgrade and took the pic before I cleaned things up....
