How are you boating guys cleaning boat seats?

[icleancarpetz]

got a few to clean and wondering how to approach these boat seats that are vinyl covered and have a light coating of mold stain. Dont want to use anything harsh that will cause them to crack.

Bass Tracker Pro seats.

Mild bleach and Dawn.
Then find and apply a quality vinyl protectant.

Nothing you apply short of a chlorinated solvent will hurt them. They crack from loss of plasticizer; nothing you can do about that.

Haven’t ever done magic eraser but I think that’s the ticket. Might do that on my own bass tracker. We use them all the time in our schools. Not sure how it’s gonna look when you pull that out on a service call But oh well.

Might try it on my leather seat in my truck?

I've never used it on leather but I've used them on various boat seats for 10+ years with no issues

I think it would take the grime off of leather. I think it could be carefully done. You’re a genius!

Strong peroxide, misted on, apply Fels gel, scrub with brush,,15 min dwell, rinse with uph tool, dry, apply Aerospace 303....

Like the 303 idea, however, need something that will kill the spores...

Don't guarantee full removal of mold stains.

Mold can often permanently damage and pit the colored surface leaving spots.

Recondition them after cleaning with a good vinyl reconditioner, charge for it, and leave him the rest of the bottle to use.

It's similar to conditioning leather with oil to prevent cracking.

Gotta stay on top of it or the sun will cook the sh!t out it.

That I'm not sure about, I've never dealt with mold specifically on vinyl

Didn't someone here create some packaging or holder for Fels Napa so it appeared to be a specialty product when they were using it in front of a client? I bet you could do something like that.
