When I got my pontoon boat last year the seats had those brown spot makes on them. Is there anything that can be used to remove them and then keep them from fading? The boat is covered when not in use.

I just ordered some of the 303 vinyl cleaner, the reviews on it are good.

I'm looking forward to using it on the canopy on our travel trailer.

Mr Clean Magic Erasers will do some pretty amazing stuff. Little bit of bleach water added made my white vinyl seats look like new

Does bleach, or Magic Eraser, damage the vinyl over time?

I've heard that bleach can damage it if it's too strong. I don't think magic erasers hurt anything as long as you don't over-do it.

Just make sure when you're done cleaning you use a vinyl protectant (303, etc.) it acts like sunscreen for your vinyl and keeps it soft.

Interior replacement site said to only use soap and water that Magic Eraser and Mean Green and other cleaners should not be used. I use a foaming cleaner bought foaming cleaner bought from an auto parts store. It said it was for made to clean upholstery. I works ok.
I have used Magic Erasers and others. Didn't look like it hurt the interior.
The replacement upholstery site said the cleaners would remove the finish on the material.

Im going to try the magic erasers on my seats.....It works great on everything else I've used it on...I think the best point is after you clean them if it does take some of that protectant off then use the 303 protectant.... Shouldnt be a problem then..

I use a mild clorox solution in a spray bottle with an old toothbrush, scrub it a bit, let it sit a while,rinse off with fresh water, works very well, especially on mildew type stains.

I bought my furniture from this company & this is what they say about cleaning your seats. Hope it helps.

I just looked at my owners manual and it said nothing at all about bleach however is did say not to use automotive upholstry cleaners OR products containing silicone. It's a warranty ending issue. My tracker techs told me to stay away from Armorall products.

The only thing suggested was mild detergent and warm water.
