What is the best thing to clean Vinyl? (Like boat seats)

[BAMAVOO]

I have tried everything. From Scrubbing bubbles to Mean Green. Anyone have any ideas?

I use the Turtle Wax brand stuff. I forget the name but it is in a green spray bottle.

(called something like 2001 or something)

I found a great product for vinyl.....its made by 3M. Its called 3M Refresh for vinyl and leather cleaner and protectant. We used it on our boat and since we have also used it in our cars. Its some great stuff. It comes in several scents, but i like the non scented.

I'll have to try that 3M stuff for my vinyl convertible top. It's definitely gotten grungy looking

Not sure if its for convertable tops....ill look when I get home though.

can't imagine why not...not much different from, say, boat seats. Although, it has a woven look if you get down close...not porous but not completely smooth.

That is the problem. My boat seats are like 3 sections in one. Two of the sections have lines in them the other section is smooth. The smooth section is clean as a whistle. The other two get semi clean but the creases remain dirty. I will try the 3M stuff. Can I get it at like AutoZone or WalMart?

If the other sections are that rough, I would suggest some other cleanser before using 3M for conditioning. 3M looks like hand lotion and is as thick. So it may not do well with pourous vinyl. But yes, you can purchase this at Autozone or Walmart or Kmart....
