Try GP66 Miracle Cleaner. Works great for deep cleaning boat vinyl. Removed tough stains from my 26yr old boat vinyl. Looks almost brand new.

Thanks for taking the time to compare all these products. With today's variety it is hard to choose what to use on our boats. This definitely serves as a starting point for those of us looking for an efective vinyl cleaning product.

Can't wait to try it!

I use this product and like it. I also use Foaming Bubbles aerosol on vinyl. Foamy Bubbles works well with getting dirt out of stitching . I keep and use both.

This was a super helpful video. We used the Starbright Fabric Cleaner after trying all the wrong products (before your video) and it worked wonders and removed the stickiness from our boat seats.

I use the Star brite vinyl cleaner . Does great on my boat. Then I use the Star Brite vinyl guard after I apply the cleaner.

Very helpful, thanks

I’ve always had good luck with Boat Juice. Both the interior and exterior products.

Back when I owned a high-dollar Malibu Wakesetter, and was heavy into the forums, Malibu recommended (specifically) "Fantastic" bathroom cleaner for their high-dollar vinyl, indicating it was the best at cleaning, without stripping or drying the vinyl. It's gotten harder to find, but to this day, that's all I use, if soap and water won't do it. (Other than mildew, which is a whole other subject.) Mr Clean Magic Erasers work magic, but are abrasive, so a last-ditch thing for me, and should be used sparingly and carefully. Follow up any cleaning with 303 Aerospace Protectant, another thing they specifically said to use, and again, I still use that stuff to this day, it's legit, best protection I've ever found. Anyway, great video man, good info!

Thanks Micah!

I’m not shock about the Amazing Roll-Off product being the winner! I have been using it for 20+ years, good friend of ours in the boating/jetski industry used it all of the time. Mostly for really dirty jobs like cleaning the inside of the hulls & footwells on our jetskis. Also does a amazing job for oil spill clean up. Thanks again for the hard work & time put in to bring us this great product comparison from several big-name companies. Billy D

Nice breakdown, Will. Thanks! Only thing missing would be a “control” test like cleaning a section with soapy water or just water and a brush to compare to the cleaning supplies.

That's what I was thinking too. I bet there wouldn't be a considerable difference between Dawn dish soap and these expensive cleaners.

interesting....I may try Amazing Rolloff

I have that McGuire's spot remover .. not good for hard stains!.. it's only good if your boat is already been detailed .. & has light dirt/stains/ etc..

Thank you will try amazing rolloff have been cleaning boat vinyl for 2 days in florida heat now at my outdoor boat storage and trying to get molded spots off vinyl. Have spent 50 bucks and still spots remaining. Will try your advise. Thank you.

Let us know how it does

Thanks for video! First i ordered the Amazing Rolloff but, decided to replace the back hatch cover instead. JoAnne's Fabrics sells Marine Grade Vinyl so with a coupon, it's $12.50 per yard. Just going to make new. Easier and cheaper than trying all the expensive products that don't work and easier than scrubbing the heck out of it. Hubby thinks discoloration came from where boat cover hits vinyl. Gonna lay white towels under the cover next time. Hopefull that will work. We live in S. NV so can't be mold...it's not humid here and 100 out today. But the top of boat looks real bad😢

I've literally used all the products you have here and agree with your outcome. But hands down the best cleaner I've found and now use on all my boat vinyl is a Mr Clean Heavy Duty Magic Eraser soaked with and used along with SuperClean used at full strength. That combination will put all your test products to shame, EASILY!!! You guys need to try my combo out.

@JetBoatPilot

Magic Eraser is great! But, it's abrasive and removes material with each use so long term use will damage surfaces.

@gunnerneikoify

Жыл бұрын

@JetBoatPilot Hmmmm, been using this combo for years with never a problem at all. Even use it for black streak removal on the decks white gel coat and have never dulled the gel coat one bit, gel coat is just as nice and shiny after I'm done as it was before I started.

@JetBoatPilot

@@gunnerneikoify Think of the magic eraser as a wet sander for your boat. It takes small layers off each time you use it. It will take time to see any damage so using it occasionally on white gelcoat and other surfaces is good, but I try not to use it unless its the only thing that will get the job done.

Coming from a car detailing perspective, I'd put a steamer on it

Thanks for the work put in for useful content. Would like to have seen a simple green, or dawn dish soap thrown in for good measure. What is your opinion on using a brush, I have heard only cloth on seats due to other abrasive nature of a brush?

@JetBoatPilot

Жыл бұрын

We use brushes when necessary but not on routine cleaning. On tough stuff like this dawn does not work well so we did not think to add it.

Use Marine 31 and let sit 10 minutes. All the mold spots and dirt will be history.

I had some 20+ year old vinyl boat cushions that had some mold and mildew. I used Starbrite Mold and Mildew, followed by the Roll Off. The results were very good. Did not remove all discoloration but most of it. The Roll Off was really great, better than Star Bright.

black mould remover would work 100%

Uncle john tech tip . For this and not so dirty vinyl but stitching dirty use Westleys bleach white tire cleaner. Good for vinyl and follow up with a UV protectant like 303!! Done and done !!

We used it in vinyl and have had no issues. Some would want to add a conditioner after to preserve softness.

What is good for dry brittle kids hard vinyl seats to soften them? I’m afraid to apply any pressure, they will crack. I need to soften before I clean.

@JetBoatPilot

2 ай бұрын

We've not found a product that softens well. We'll be on the lookout for one though and report back when we do.

For vinyl, 25% pool chlorine, water, and a squirt of dish soap. Then Rinse it and take any organic staining off. If you need to go stronger on the chlorine

@jonathanchandler5194

@davidrasmussen2975

Chlorine will also dry out the vinyl and can’t penetrate into the subsurface layer.

Amazing Roll Off is just a glycol ether mixed with sodium metasilicate. Combine cheap LA Awesome with cheap ZEP 505 Degreaser and you'll have the same cleaner as ARO for a quarter to half the price.

We're formulating our own Cleaner which we're calling EVERYCLEAN. It will be out in a few months. Cleans better than Roll Off and is not harmful for the environment, waterways or marine life.

I highly suggest that you try Marine 31 Mildew Remover. There are several videos that make it look too good to be true, but the stuff flat-out works. I would be happy to share before/after pictures of my own boat. Check it out.
