Me agian! So, the vinyl seats in the boat are just as faded and weathered as the paint job. I read on the internet of "kits" that claim to hold to key to restoring the look of the vinyl. Any one have experience with these "miracle" kits? It just seems too good to be true. The vinyl is still strong, just faded and with some stains. Any input is appreciated.

P.S. I could get addicted to this boat restoration thing. And my Wife will definately vouch for that! d:)

Re: Vinyl Restoration

there are creams and solvents that claim to restore vinyl, the best is probably "Armoral"

Re: Vinyl Restoration

Yes I agree armorall worked well for me! When I first bought my boat It looked like it sat out side for years,I have been busting my butt trying to restore her everything was faded,Armour all restored most of the interier that I didnt replace she's getting there though,,its a lot of work,but well worth it ,She doesn't look 16 she looks more like 2 . Hard work and elbow greese seems to be working best. I agree (armour all is all I use too. (Waven ' Bye)...Pat ..
