    Default What vinyl cleaner do you use?

    My owner's manual says to use Vinyl Finish Vinyl Cleaner on the upholstery but my local dealer doesn't sell it. The local Rinker dealer recommends Zep Vinyl Cleaner - has anybody used this? Here's a link to a description of the product:

    http://www.zep.com/ProductCatalog/ProductSearch.asp

    Looking for recommendations on what works without ill effects on the vinyl finish. If you've discovered a product that's readily available at the local Target or Wal-Mart, I'd like to hear about it as well.

    Thanks,

    Al

    I just use Tilex Shower Mist. It is very light and I have used it on my boats since 2000.

    I do not think the shower mist does not but I will check the ingredants tonight. Like I said I have used it for 5 yrs on my tige and 2 yrs on my LSV and it has not bleached the my platinum seats or even the towels that I use to wipe down the boat with.

    i would be more concerned about the stitching.

    a friend of mine with a cc used 409 on his and the product ate the stitching away almost instantly.. :P

    Read the manufacturers reccomendations.
    Plain old "Fantastik"... but hard to come by now.

    I use diluted Marine Spray nine, stuff is safe and strong. boat soap and water and a brush really all you need most of the time - especially if you 303 the stuff regulary.

    Oh, 303 makes a cleaner now! I'll look it up from home and post, but I'm sure you can google it

    The cleaner is good stuff I ordered it for the off road truck and I use it in the Outback. It does work very well. If I can post a non boating site here I will, if anyone has an issue with it I won't hit me up with a PM if you want it.
