Boat Int. Upholstery Cleaner

[Groper]

Since we're on the Topic I ran into an issue last week while putting my All White Interior back in my Schiada.
The Boat has been in & out of a few shops over the last year(s), fortunately I kept the seats safe and covered in my garage.
But I left the all white side panels in the Bote (they were removed for the re-gel but reinstalled to early IMO) and the now I have hand prints from crease and ? covering the entire length of the panels from all the work-ors climbing in and out of the boat while also using my new polished stainless fenders as steps


I have tried Dawn Dish Soap, a non toxic Biodegradable Orange Citrus Cleaner, 50/50 Simple Green/water mix and the marks are still present

What will take the prints off ? besides a trip to Bill @Arko to be recovered.

Mr Clean magic erasers but they are a bit abrasive. Be sure to condition it afterwards.

+1 on magic eraser along with 303 afterwards

Don't use magic erasers. They are abrasive. RD highly recommend scrubbing bubbles. There is a thread about it somewhere on here. I'm on my phone, so can't post a link.

Try scrubbing bubbles first. If that doesn't work, give this stuff a try. Its the best alternative for removing ground in dirt/grease.

Orange hand cleaner with the pumice. Just condition them after.

Try totally awesome. Get it at the dollar store. Works great. I use it then wipe down with mild soapy water. Dry then use 303 protectant

 

[farmo83]

Simple Green and then 303 for me.

 

[DWC]

Malco to clean it. 303 to protect it.

 

[RogerThat99]

Is there only one 303, or different types? If so, what type do you use? I'm not familiar with it.

There is a 303 cleaner and a UV protectant. They are both top notch products

Magic eraser would not even make it on my boat. It's abrasive and removes the top layer ain't no conditioner gonna bring that back.

ZEP vinyl cleaner.. order online...you cant buy this in Cali any more due to the enviro Nazis
works great...

 

[Andy01]

Sounds like the boat isn't worth keeping at this point. I think you should just sell. I'll go pick it up, it here at the Havasu house? I'll mail you a check for the cost of the gel and trailer work so your not out that money

Most auto places have it, Autozone, Napa, O'Reilly's or of course
Wallmart or Amazon.

Been using it for years. Spray it on, wipe it off....
Let it foam up, wipe off. Deep stain may need a little agitation with soft brush.

So this came up in my life last week. I had great results with everything everyone mentioned above. As of last week, Vinyl sauce was my favorite as far as stuff that didn't have long term effects the vinly. Then I was talking to Monica at Custom Canvas and she made me take a can of the Zep 0234 cleaner (not allowed for sale in Cali) and this is my new favorite! I'm gonna get a case next chance I get. F California by the way!

[Ultra912]

I just used dish soap and water. I think those markings will come out with the sun’s help. Just park it at three dunes and drink all day and watch them disappear!

I use their upholstery cleaner , and their wheel cleaner... nothing works better and only a buck a bottle

I discovered the Zep formula years ago at B&D marine. It was the best. Then California in their infinite wisdom outlawed it.
I made a deal with Zep and now offer the product in our brand. Available in AZ and NV

[LAVEYNICK]

I use murphy's oil soap mixed with water and it works amazing.

 

[JD D05]

Original Barbosal shaving cream works very well for general cleaning, not sure and all stain but it removes normal boating stuff great.

 

[Chili Palmer]

Do not use 303 on your car tires or trim - it's a dirt and dust magnet.

 

[Groper]

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll try these items on the Deck Boat as well.

Ordered:
3 cans of Zep ZEP023401 & 1gal. of 303 Aerospace Protectant

303 Aerospace Protectant has free shipping for Memorial Day https://www.goldeagle.com/product/303-aerospace-protectant/
No love from SuperKleenDirect

Gee thanks Andy,
If I can't get the panel clean I'll take you up on your offer. There might be a few other fees added to the deal though that won't be too painful

 

[LazyLavey]

I just hit the "order" button for the Zep stuff

Haven't got the "sorry, not to Kali" message..... yet
