Hit the lake on the brother in laws boat today. It was just one of those days. Weather turned to crap. Brand new towel stained the driver seat red. Trailer bow strap snapped getting out of the water. Trailer brakes started to act up driving home. Anyway mostly all easy fixes. But does anyone have any ideas for getting these stains out? We have tried multiple vinyl cleaners but they aren't helping at all.

That blows. I'd be interested to see what ends up taking that red out.

Same thing happened to my boat. Sun light will eventually take it away. I tried every cleaner I could find. Ended up letting it sit in direct sun light and it went away.

I'd park the boat in the sun all day and it will break down that red so it's easier to get it removed.

Don't do anything. Let the sun take care of it. It will take a few trips but it will go away.

Like others have said just leave it outside and it will take care of itself.

Thanks guys. Didn't want to use anything to abrasive on it. We'll leave the cover off since the boat stays on the side yard. Of course it's all clouds here today lol. No more new towels on the boat.

You can cover the boat just leave the seats out if possible.

Always make sure to wash any new towels before going on the boat!! Been there done that.

That's what I told him but it is on the section of the driver seat that doesn't come out also. No big deal with it on the side of the house. Will just get a good cleaning again soon.

Magic eraser should work. I use it lightly once a year to get out stubborn stains

Thanks!

We did try the magic eraser but no luck. It's still out in the sun just letting it do its own thing as of now. I appreciate everyone's help

I learned the new towel lesson myself last year . I tried magic eraser and that cut it a little but it did just kinda go away on its own. Strange deal
