Removing leaf stains

[gmctodd]

We had our Crownline for 6 years and the vinyl looked brand new when we sold it. Just bought an Avalon pontoon and after two weeks I have three spots on the seats I can't get up. Are these seats that much cheaper or what! Any ideas on removing them

Thanks,
Todd

Re: Removing leaf stains

I had marks on our seats this year... and nothing worked... until we got out the magic erasers. My only recommendation is, after you use the magic eraser, give your marine vinyl a treatment with some type of cleaner/protector... I'm sure someone will answer here with a product that they would recommend.

Good luck to you!

Ditto on the Magic Eraser. Then hit the seats with 303 protectant. Most boating outlets and even Ace Hardware around here has it. Might have seen it at the local Auto parts store too..

Try Clorox clean up, just rinse real good with water because it has bleach in it then use 303.

Keep the clorox away from sewing if possible

Re: Removing leaf stains

Where my seat folded down and touched (bottoms to the backs) there were stains from various things that none of the cleaners would remove. Finally said the hell with it and cut LA Awsome to 7-1, soft brush and 95 percent are gone. Wiped down repeatly with water afterwards, kept away from threads and treated twice with Mothers Marine, or use 303

I saw this stuff at Cabela's yesterday. http://www.amazon.com/Losso-Mold-Mildew-Cleaner-12-Ounce/dp/B002AR5G6Y Looks like it could do the job.
