Spot in vinyl

[feverfun]

I was recently cleaning my interior when I left the brush I was using on the back seat. A couple of day later when I went out to finish, the blue plastic had bleed into the vinyl. I've tried just about eveything I could think of to get out, but nothing worked. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm open to anything.

You might try Simple Green or Westlie’s Bleach White (If the area is white). Let it soak for a short time before you scrub.

Good luck...it may not come out. Careful with the erasers..they work great but are abrasive and can scuff.

Best thing for some stains is a peroxide based cleaner and SUN SUN SUN. It will bleach it out.

Where doyou get the Mr Clean from? How do you apply it? Do you have to scrub it?

[SHIP4BRAINS]

....he meant Mr Clean Magic Erasers... Never heard the shaving cream trick.

This is the only thing I use on my vinyl for cleaning. I don't leave the dock without them

If you have exhausted everything else, then you can turn to bleach. Bleach + sun usually does the trick on most stains. The Magic Erasers are bleach + an abrasive, so be careful.

Remember to always condition your vinyl or wax your fiberglass after using bleach.

Just tell people it was there when you bought the boat.

Clorox Cleanup and sunlight. It should eventually fade away. I had a red shirt bleed into white vinyl and thought it would never come out. It was gone in a with Clorox cleanup and 3 days of boating in the sun.

if you use bleach make sure you dont let it set for a long period of time
BLEACH ISNT GOOD FOR VINYL

Another vote for eraser and shaving cream on hard stains, but.... I'm not a big fan on using the eraser as your #1 vinyl cleaner. Use it on the hard stains then back away. You need a less abrasive vinyl cleaner for weekly cleaning, but that will still do the job. I know of one...:mrgreen:
Also, after the eraser, shaving cream or whatever you decide to use take a wet towel and wipe the seat off with fresh water. Finally, keep a good conditioner on the vinyl after cleaning! A good conditioner will also help repel future stains. I also know of an excellent one....:mrgreen:

A good vinyl scrubber will help and the results will show.

The "SUN" is the best bleach of all! Keep the vinyl conditioned and the sun will eventually do the rest. Your stain might not be all the way gone after you scrub it down, but give it time and the sun will prevail.



FYI, I make all of my fiberglass and vinyl products. I also detail more than a few hundred boats per year, so please ask away if you need anything.
