    I'd steer away from any spray on sunscreen.

    Maybe you'll have better luck, but we used it early last summer and we had several stain spots forming on our seats. I think it's something to do with the aerosol. Searched the issue on wakeworld and the overwhelming consensus is that the spray on sunscreen was the devil for upholstery.

    We were able to get the blemishes off, but once we stopped using it we had no more issues.

    I had to replace some skins about five years ago because of the stains and I couldn't tell you what brands caused them. They appeared later in the day and my best guess it was excess lotion rather than the skin/lotion contact as I didn't see distinct leg markings but a few swirl marks. I ask people to allow a few minutes for the lotion to soak in before sitting on the seats. I haven't had a problem since.

    No aerosol style allowed in or around the boat, then all other must dry before sitting down on the seats

    that spray stuff is banned on my moomba regardless of when it is applied... see my previous post about its paint melting qualities....
